Double Portrait
of Children
by
Paul Gauguin

 

 

 

This very colourful picture shows two little girls, probably sisters. They sit in front of a yellow wall with a red flower pattern. In front is the elder sister on a chair, while behind her the little sister is sitting playing. Can you see what she is holding? They are both wearing blue dresses and the younger girl seems to have a bonnet.

 

Gauguin was a French artist. On Tahiti, which is in the Pacific Ocean, he lived a simple life with the local people.
