Art Details

Three three-quarter length figures stand out against a vivid, colorful background. Two women flank a young man, seen from behind. They may be offering him a choice, possibly between vice, symbolized by the apple, and virtue, symbolized by the flowers. This suggestion ties in with the allegorical character of many of Gauguin’s Tahitian paintings in which ideas from different cultures are fused together.

Gauguin used the same two young women as models in other paintings made around the same time, during his second period in Tahiti from 1895-1901. Source
