The lemon picker 1891

Paul Gauguin's "The Lemon Picker" (1891) is a vibrant Post-Impressionist artwork depicting a Tahitian woman harvesting lemons. Gauguin, known for his bold colors and simplified forms, captures the tropical setting through a lush, green landscape with a large tree at the center. The figure, dressed in a pink shirt and red skirt, is depicted in a graceful pose, highlighting the artist's interest in the beauty and simplicity of everyday life in Tahiti. This painting exemplifies Gauguin's fascination with the culture and people of Oceania, and his desire to escape the confines of Western art traditions.
