Painted in 1890 at Le Pouldu in Brittany, shortly before Paul Gauguin's first voyage to Tahiti, "Woman with a Cat" depicts a seated female nude rendered with the bold contours and flattened planes of color that define his Synthetist style. The painting belongs to a small group of intimate studio studies from his final months in France, made as he searched for subjects beyond Impressionism and modern Paris — a search that would soon lead him to the South Pacific. Its warm palette and simplified forms anticipate the style he would carry into his Tahitian work.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.

This is my fourth order from this shop and the standard has not slipped once. The color in Woman with a Cat is what people mean when they talk about Gauguin.
I have bought a lot of art online and this is the first time it looked exactly like the listing. The brushwork in Woman with a Cat shows exactly why Gauguin has the reputation. The image is so clean that I have looked at it with a magnifier. It has become the thing I point to when people compliment the house. Worth every dollar and then some.
The customer service here answered me on a Sunday. My daughter recognized Woman with a Cat from her art class and was thrilled. I cannot recommend this shop highly enough.
This has gotten more compliments than anything else we own. The hand of Gauguin is visible in Woman with a Cat in a way I did not expect at this price.
The subject alone sold me and the execution sealed it. The shading in Woman with a Cat has a depth I never noticed in books. Highly recommended if you are hesitating.
