| Description |
This drawing belongs to a group of highly finished portrait drawings of Tahitians made by Gauguin shortly after his arrival in the South Seas. When acclimating to a new place, Gauguin initially delayed painting, preferring first to familiarize himself with the landscape and people through observation and drawing. The meticulous quality of this graphite study suggests that it was made from life. The woman's noble face and enigmatic expression allude to the spirituality and melancholy that Gauguin sought to conjure in his Polynesian work. |
