Paul Gauguin’s 'Woman Picking Fruit and the Savage (Femme cueillant des fruits et oviri),' created between 1894 and 1895, represents a pivotal moment in the artist's post-Tahitian period. This complex composition juxtaposes the symbolic figure of Oviri—the savage woman—with the act of gathering fruit, reflecting Gauguin's deep fascination with Tahitian mythology, exoticism, and the primal duality of life and death. The work serves as a profound exploration of human nature, rendered with bold, expressive forms and a raw, textured aesthetic. Each archival reproduction is meticulously prepared to preserve the intricate textures and tonal depth of Gauguin's original block print. To ensure architectural precision and a refined, gallery-ready presentation, every format—including our premium canvas—is finished with a consistent clean white gallery border that elegantly floats the artwork in standard proportions without cropping.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
