A seated woman in a blue dress holds a yellow flower

A Tahitian woman sits half-turned, gazing to the side, her dark hair pulled back in a long braid with a white flower tucked above her ear and a small gold earring at her lobe. She wears a loose blue-violet dress with a white collar and cuffs, her hands folded in her lap, the upper one holding a yellow flower and showing a pale ring. The ground behind her is bright yellow patterned with green leaves and white blossoms, above a red field at her shoulders.

Paul Gauguin (1848–1903) left a career as a stockbroker to paint, worked beside Van Gogh in Arles in 1888, and led the Pont-Aven painters toward flat colour and simplified form. From 1891 he lived mostly in Tahiti and the Marquesas, where the figures, colour and myth of Polynesia became his subject. His synthetist style shaped the Nabis, Fauvism and Expressionism. His paintings are held by the Musée d'Orsay, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
