The artwork features a bold, stylized depiction of Tahitian mythology and culture, showcasing Gauguin's fascination with the South Pacific. The print's dark and expressive lines, along with its use of contrasting colors and patterns, create a sense of mystery and depth. It is a testament to Gauguin's artistic experimentation and the influence of non-Western art on his work. This print is currently housed in The Art Institute of Chicago, showcasing the artist's vision and the power of woodblock printing as a medium.
