Tahiti

After Paul Gauguin

National Gallery of Art

The image depicts two seated figures, both with long, dark hair that falls over their shoulders. The person on the left is facing slightly towards the right and holding a smoking pipe. The individual on the right is turned slightly towards the left, holding a fan. Both figures wear long dresses. Behind them is a plant with large leaves and the ground is shaded to suggest differentiation in terrain. The background is plain and unadorned.
