The Black Rocks is a 1898 by Paul Gauguin, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows two figures, possibly women, in a landscape. The woman on the left is sitting, while the one on the right is lying down. The background is dominated by dark rocks and a dark sky. The figures are depicted in a simple, naturalistic style, with an emphasis on their bodies and the landscape. The overall mood is somber and introspective. The painting's use of dark colors and simple forms creates a sense of calm and contemplation.
