Paul Gauguin was born in Paris on June 7, 1848. From an early age, Paul showed interest in art and literature, which he continued to develop even after becoming the director of the stock exchange company Charbonnages de France.
Gauguin's career as an artist did not begin until the late 1880s, when he met Pissarro and Seurat. These artists became known collectively as "impressionists."
At this time, Gauguin was also close to Charles Laval and Émile Bernard. They found inspiration in Japanese woodcuts that they saw at the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1889. This exhibition led to the discovery of Japonisme. The following year, these artists exhibited their works together under the name of "The Independents," marking a turning point in their careers. In 1891 Gauguin returned to Martinique for two years, where he painted several important canvases inspired by tropical themes. After returning to France, he again began exhibiting his works with Pissarro and Seurat under the name of "The Neo-Impressionists,".

The women in this painting are shown to be an integral part of the scene, perhaps meant to represent worshipers of a Maori deity or simply natives performing what is for them a normal ritual.
