"Seated Tahitian Youth" is a watercolor painting by Paul Gauguin, a prominent figure in the Post-Impressionist movement. Created between 1894 and 1903, this artwork depicts a young Tahitian woman in a contemplative pose, her figure enveloped in warm, earthy tones. The painting's composition is characterized by a simple, almost minimalist style, with the subject framed within an oval shape against a muted background. This artwork is now part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection.
