Hail Mary, 1891 by Paul Gauguin

Gauguin described the picture in a letter of March, 1892:

An angel with yellow wings points out to two Tahitian women Mary and Jesus, also Tahitians. Nudes dressed in pareos, a kind of flowered cotton cloth which is worn as one likes around the waist. The background [is] of very somber mountains and trees in flower. A dark purple road and green foreground; to the left some bananas. I am rather pleased with it.”
