Young Christian Girl, 1894. Creator: Paul Gauguin
Young Christian Girl, 1894. The young girl bows her head and joins her hands in prayer. Behind her, lilac shapes fan around her shoulders like wings, and the russet-colored cypresses and rolling green hills suggest the landscape of Brittany. Yet instead of the white cap and dark clothing traditionally worn by Breton women, she is shown in a dress similar to those brought by Christian missionaries to the South Sea Islands

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant portrait of a Young Christian Girl (1894), French post-Impressionist master Paul Gauguin captures the innocence and devotion of his subject. The blonde-haired girl, dressed in a dress reminiscent of those worn by South Sea Island women introduced to Christianity, bows her head and joins her hands together in prayer. Behind her, the lilac shapes on the canvas seem to take flight like wings, while the cypress trees and rolling green hills evoke the rugged landscape of Brittany.
Gauguin's brushstrokes are bold and expressive, imbuing his subject with a sense of quiet reverence. The young girl's posture is one of obedience and devotion, her face tilted upwards in supplication. This portrait is not only a stunning example of Gauguin's unique style but also a powerful exploration of the intersection between Christianity and indigenous cultures.
As we gaze upon this beautiful print, we are transported to the rolling hills and rugged coastline of Brittany, where Gauguin drew inspiration from the people and landscapes he encountered. The Young Christian Girl is more than just a portrait - it is an intimate glimpse into the artist's fascination with the human experience.
