"Old Maids in Arles" (French: "Vieilles Filles à Arles") is an 1888 painting by the French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin. Created during a period of artistic innovation and experimentation, the painting is emblematic of Gauguin's evolving style and his quest for a more profound and symbolic form of expression beyond the naturalistic representation of the Impressionists.

The painting depicts two women, traditionally referred to as "old maids," seated in a room with a window that opens to a view of Arles, a town in the south of France. Gauguin's use of bold colors, simplified forms, and strong outlines reflects his move towards Symbolism and foreshadows his later work in Tahiti. The composition's flatness and the decorative quality of the patterns in the background and on the women's clothing are indicative of Gauguin's interest in the cloisonnism technique, which he developed alongside his friend and fellow artist, Émile Bernard.

"Old Maids in Arles" is significant for its place in Gauguin's oeuvre as it captures the artist's transition from the Impressionist influence to a more avant-garde approach. The painting also provides insight into Gauguin's views on the social status of women, particularly those who were unmarried, and his interpretation of life in Arles, where he spent time with Vincent van Gogh in what is famously known as the "Studio of the South."

The artwork is part of Gauguin's broader narrative that challenges traditional European art forms and seeks inspiration from a variety of sources, including folk art, Japanese prints, and the cultural practices of indigenous peoples. "Old Maids in Arles" remains a testament to Gauguin's innovative spirit and his contribution to the development of modern art at the turn of the 20th century.
