Portrait of Aline 1884

"Portrait of Aline" is a painting by Paul Gauguin from 1884. The artwork is a portrait of a young girl, likely Gauguin's daughter, Aline, in profile. The subject's soft features and light-colored dress contrast against the dark background, creating a sense of depth and focus. This work reflects Gauguin's early experimentation with Synthetism, a style characterized by simplified forms, bright colors, and flat planes.
