Identification of a Gauguin's painting

herveba · September 23rd, 2011, 03:39 AM

This is the translation from the French, a text alluding to a painting which can allude to a lot of Gauguin's tahitian paintings (among them, Three Tahitian women, Call, Riviera...), but I found no one corresponding exactly to the description:
"A tropical landscape in a bad greenery. Three still women on the first plan, you can see their naked and brown backs but hardly their face. They stay there, petrified…"
Thanks for helping me!
(I can't consult reference books, such as Wildenstein or Sugana).

This is three Tahitian women bathing, from the back. It's not exactly as described (petrified?) but might be the one being described.
