Paul Gauguin painted still life throughout his career, and his early works in the genre, made while he was still close to the Impressionist circle and influenced by Paul Cézanne, show him working through the discipline of arranging and rendering everyday objects before he developed his later, more symbolic style. "Still Life with Wood Tankard and Metal Pitcher" depicts humble domestic vessels rendered with careful attention to their form, material, and the play of light across their surfaces. These early still lifes, often overlooked next to his famous Tahitian paintings, reveal the technical foundation on which his later, bolder work was built.
