Nave Nave Fenua (Fragrant Isle)

Paul Gauguin

Cleveland Museum of Art

A woman with dark skin and short hair stands facing forward on a light-brown surface, wearing a dark dress with a low neckline, and her arms are at her sides. Three pink flowers with green stems are to her right. A dark brown area with a lighter brown tree and plants fills the background. A brown strip across the top of the image reads "NAVENAVE FENUA" in dark brown. A border on the left edge features diamond shapes, dots and lines arranged vertically. The border matches the brown strip at the top.
