This portrait is one of the first paintings painted by Gauguin in Tahiti.
In Noah Noah he writes:
"I long wanted to portray one of my neighbors, a young woman with a pure Tahitian radiance." One day she finally decided to come into my hut and look at pictures I'd hung on one of the walls of my room. She was curious to look at some religious compositions, I hurried, without notice, to sketch her portrait. She saw him and exclaimed excitedly, "A! No!" and escaped ...
An hour later she returned, dressed in a beautiful robe. Without hesitation I began to work fast and fast. I was aware that my skill as an artist depended on the physical and moral possession of the model.
She was not beautiful for our understandings. But she was beautiful. Her features blended in harmonious lines. Her grief was modeled by a sculptor who knew how to combine in joy and suffering. "
