"A Fisherman Drinking Beside His Canoe" is a woodcut by Paul Gauguin, created in 1894. The artwork depicts a Tahitian fisherman in profile, kneeling beside his canoe, while holding a gourd to his mouth. The image is composed primarily of brown tones, with the figure's body and the canoe highlighted in lighter, almost white, tones. The work, housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, exemplifies Gauguin's fascination with the people and landscapes of Tahiti, a theme that characterized his artistic production during his time there.
