Noa Noa (Fragrant, Fragrant)

Paul Gauguin

National Gallery of Art

This is a drawing depicting stylized, symbolic figures and abstract elements. The central figure has a large hat and is surrounded by natural elements and abstract shapes. A second figure wearing a dress is near water with ripple patterns. Intricate designs above include human portrayals and the words "NOA NOA" in a cloud-like area. This artwork combines human and natural forms with abstract art elements in the style of Paul Gauguin.
