Portrait of the Painter Slewinski is a 1896 oil by Paul Gauguin, a Post-Impressionism work, held at National Museum of Western Art.
The painting shows a man sitting at a table with a vase of flowers. The man is wearing a yellow jacket and has a beard. He is looking at the viewer. The vase is brown and has a wide mouth. It is filled with white, yellow, and pink flowers. The background is blue. The man's face is painted in a simple style, with bold brushstrokes. The flowers are also painted in a loose, expressive way. The overall effect is one of warmth and intimacy. This painting is a great example of the work of Paul Gauguin, a French artist known for his bold and expressive use of color.
