"Woman in the Waves" (also known as "Ondine I") is a notable painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created in 1889. This work is emblematic of Gauguin's experimental phase during his time in Brittany, a period marked by a bold departure from Impressionism towards a more symbolic and abstract representation. The painting is housed in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art, showcasing Gauguin's fascination with Breton folklore, mythology, and the exotic, themes that would dominate his later works, especially during his time in Tahiti.

The artwork depicts a female figure, presumed to be a mythical ondine or water nymph, emerging from the sea, enveloped in waves. Gauguin's use of vibrant colors and simplified forms reflects his pursuit of a more primal and emotional expression, moving away from the naturalistic depiction of his earlier works. The figure's enigmatic expression and the dreamlike quality of the scene invite interpretations related to themes of mysticism, femininity, and the connection between humans and nature.

"Woman in the Waves" is considered an important work in Gauguin's oeuvre for its early indication of the artist's transition towards Symbolism and for its exploration of themes that would become central in his later works. The painting is a testament to Gauguin's innovative approach to color, form, and subject matter, marking a significant moment in the development of modern art at the turn of the 20th century.
