Auti te Pape (Women at the River) is a 1894 ink by Paul Gauguin, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This woodcut print depicts two women sitting by a river, surrounded by lush greenery. The woman on the left is shown from behind, while the one on the right is facing forward, with her head turned to the side. The women are dressed in flowing robes, and the scene is rendered in a range of earthy tones. The print features bold lines and expressive textures, which give the image a sense of energy and movement. The women's faces are serene, and their bodies are relaxed, conveying a sense of calm and tranquility. The print's use of bold lines and expressive textures is reminiscent of the work of Gauguin, Paul.
Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin (; French: ; 7 June 1848 – 8 May 1903) was a French painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramist, and writer, whose work has been primarily associated with the Post-Impressionist and Symbolist movements.
