It depicts a Breton landscape with a naked young woman lying in the foreground. Behind her, a fox, the symbol of lust in Hindu mythology, can be seen. In the background, a wedding procession in Breton costumes is approaching the nude. This was Gauguin's last major work produced before he left for Tahiti at the beginning of April 1891.
