Eiaha Ohipa (English: Not Working) is an 1896 oil on canvas painting by Paul Gauguin, now in Pushkin Museum, Moscow.[1] It was produced during his second stay in Tahiti[2]
The painting depicts two young Tahitians passing the time idling in a hut smoking whilst through the window the artist can be seen painting. The motif of an open window with the silhouette of a dog can be seen in other of Gauguin's works such as his Te Faaturuma of 1891. [3]
The painting symbolises the relaxed, natural and contemplative lifestyle of the Tahiti islanders.
