"Still Life with Carafe and Ceramic Figure" (1885) by Paul Gauguin showcases the artist's signature Synthetist style, characterized by bold colors and simplified forms. The artwork depicts a ceramic figure, a carafe, and other objects arranged on a table, with a vibrant, patterned cloth hanging behind them. Gauguin's use of thick brushstrokes and flat planes of color creates a sense of depth and movement, inviting the viewer to explore the interplay of light and shadow.
