## Image Caption
An 1894 oil on canvas, *Breton Peasant [Women](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/women/)*, by [Paul Gauguin](https://www.worldhistory.org/Paul_Gauguin/) (1848-1903) the French post-impressionist painter. Painted in Brittany. The figures are an excellent example of the cloisonnist style where areas of a single colour are bordered by a thick black border as in medieval enamel work. (Musée d'Orsay, [Paris](https://www.worldhistory.org/disambiguation/paris/))
