This still life by Paul Gauguin features two distinct vessels placed on a light-colored surface, drawing the viewer's eye to their forms and textures. A substantial, lidded earthenware or stoneware mug with an ornate handle stands prominently on the left, casting a sharp shadow to its right. To its side, a slender pewter jug with a small lid provides a visual counterpoint. The background is composed of muted purples and greens, suggesting a draped fabric or wall behind. Painted in oil on canvas in 1880, this work showcases Gauguin's early exploration of light and volume. Its quiet domesticity and rich, subdued palette would complement a traditional dining room or a cozy reading nook.
