The first flowers 1888

"The First Flowers" is an oil painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created in 1888. It depicts two women in a field, one standing, and the other bending down, possibly picking flowers. The painting exhibits Gauguin's signature style with its bold colors, simplified forms, and flat planes of color. The subject matter is a common one in Gauguin's work, and it reflects his interest in the simplicity and beauty of rural life. Gauguin's use of color and brushwork is distinct, creating a sense of rhythm and movement in the painting.
