"Angel, Peacock, and Three Tahitians" (c. 1902) is a charcoal drawing by Paul Gauguin, depicting a Tahitian scene with three figures, a peacock, and an angel-like figure with wings. This is an example of Gauguin's artistic interest in symbolism, which he explored during his time living in Tahiti. The stark lines and simple forms, characteristic of Gauguin's work, reflect the artist's fascination with Polynesian culture and its traditions. The drawing is a testament to Gauguin's exploration of the mystical and the spiritual, and it serves as a reminder of his influence on modern art movements.
