Tahiti

After Paul Gauguin

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two figures seated on the ground. Both have long, straight hair falling past their shoulders and delicate facial features. The figure on the left is holding something near their mouth, while the one on the right holds a fan on their lap. They are surrounded by large leafy plants, suggesting a natural setting. The background is minimal. The image is monochrome on a light green surface.
