Aha Oe Feii? or Are You Jealous? [1] is an oil-on-canvas painting by Paul Gauguin from 1892, based on a real-life episode during his stay on Tahiti which he later described in the diary Noa Noa: "On the shore two sisters are lying after bathing, in the graceful poses of resting animals; they speak of yesterday's love and tomorrow's conquests. The recollection causes them to quarrel, "What? Are you jealous?"[2] Gauguin titled the painting in Tahitian language, Aha Oe Feii?, in the lower left corner of the canvas.
The painting evokes a sense of Pacific paradise in which sexual relations are playful and harmless. According to Professor Peter Toohey, "this jealousy is not the product of a threat to an exclusive sexual relationship or jilted love affair – it is the result of one of the sisters having enjoyed more sex than the other the night before".[3] In a letter to his friend from 1892, Gauguin wrote about the painting: "I think this is the best of what I've made so far".[2]
The painting is housed in the Pushkin Museum, Moscow, Russia.
