Noa Noa: Noa Noa (Fragrant Scent)

Paul Gauguin

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white woodcut print with a thick black border. The scene depicts two people in a landscape. The person on the left stands with their back to the viewer, wearing a long skirt and short-sleeved top, with their left arm raised and bent at the elbow. The person on the right stands facing the left, wearing a short white garment. Above them is a tree with a large cloud-like shape containing the text "NOANOA". The cloud-like shape has a decorative border and a tree silhouette inside. Two oval shapes on either side of the tree contain silhouettes of people. A pig is in the top right corner. Leaves are on either side of the cloud-like shape. The background includes a field and a mountain range. The artist's signature is at the bottom.
