Description
This vibrant wallpaper mural depicts Paul Gauguin’s bold and colorful oil painting “The Siesta.” Gauguin was greatly impressed by the natural beauty and relaxed nature of Tahitian women. He spent a long time working on this painting, making several changes. For example, the woman’s skirt was originally bright red, there was a dog where the basket is now, and the woman on the porch was originally seated further to the left.
