Tahitian Woman, headpiece for Le sourire 1899 - 1900

"Tahitian Woman, headpiece for Le sourire" is a woodcut by Paul Gauguin, created between 1899 and 1900. The artwork features a Tahitian woman, rendered in Gauguin's signature bold, simplified style, with strong lines and flat areas of color. The image is a headpiece for the publication "Le sourire," and its title is inscribed in the upper left corner. The work is characteristic of Gauguin's fascination with non-European cultures, particularly the Tahitian people, and his use of woodcuts to create bold, expressive images.
