Portrait of a Young Woman. Vaïte (Jeanne) Goupil
The story
Vaite, the young daughter of a French lawyer based in Papeete, sits facing us in a pale dress against a deep, abstract background. Gauguin painted her in 1896 during his second Tahitian stay — one of the few times he painted a European subject while on the island.
