Gauguin Would Have Painted This Marquesas Island Scene


Young woman trimming a straw hat she wove in Ua Pou, one of the Islands of the Marquesas Archipelago. Gauguin, who lived and died in the Marquesas, would have liked these colors.

Usant de ciseaux, cette jeune femme termine un chapeau de paille qu’elle a tissé à Ua Pou, l’une des îles de l’archipel des Marquises.Gauguin, qui vécut et mourut aux Marquises, aurait aimé ces couleurs.
