Breton women in traditional dress kneel at the foot of a yellow crucifix set among autumn fields near Pont-Aven. Gauguin painted it in 1889, placing the Crucifixion in contemporary Brittany as if it were the women's vision. Flat areas of yellow, red and green are held in dark outlines, the cloisonnist style he developed alongside Émile Bernard.
