About the piece
Painted in 1893 during Paul Gauguin's first stay in Tahiti, this portrait of Tehamana captures a complex intersection of cultures. The sitter wears a high-collared missionary dress, yet is surrounded by symbols of her heritage, including ancient Rapa Nui glyphs and a sculpted figure in the background. Gauguin's signature use of flat planes of color and bold patterns makes this a striking statement piece.
