Vessel with Women and Goats 1882 - 1892

Paul Gauguin's "Vessel with Women and Goats" is a striking ceramic sculpture that exemplifies his fascination with primitive art and non-Western cultures. This vessel, created between 1882 and 1892, features a rounded body adorned with intricate relief carvings depicting women and goats, reflecting Gauguin's exploration of Tahitian and Polynesian motifs. The rough, earthy texture of the clay and the bold, simplified forms contribute to the work's primitive aesthetic, making it a captivating example of Gauguin's artistic evolution.
