Description:
Like many artists, the Post-Impressionist Paul Gauguin painted or sketched himself many times in this three-quarter view , but with varying light sources. His expression with a knitted brow and chin resting in an awkwardly drawn right hand show him as thoughtful and stern. Gauguin often included an object from his surroundings in his self-portraits. During his first trip to Tahiti, Gauguin studied ancient Polynesian deities with the help of his Tahitian companion, Tehamana. The figure behind the artist is the goddess Hina, a symbol of calm and peace. While Gauguin's clothing suggests a colder climate, the figure in the painting may be a reference to his first trip to Tahiti in 1891. In August of 1893, Gauguin returned to France.
