Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) Piti Teina (Two Sisters). 1892 Oil on canvas, The Hermitage Museum collection Original: 90,5 x 67,5 cm   Current state: March 3, 2008 - the copying was started.

Paul Gauguin hall at the State Hermitage Museum, St.Petersburg, Russia Two little Tahitian girls, the sisters, arguably Gauguin's finest images of children, perhaps reflect his recollection of his own younger daughter. The mysterious background of this canvas contrasts with the simple silhouette of the childrens' figures. A noble simplicity and monumentality is combined here with the delicacy and even vulnerability peculiar to childhood. Piti teina's uniqueness is in just this contrast. Looking at this picture makes one recall Gauguin's lines from Noa-Noa about the "women-girls, in whose rhythm of body movements, [and in whose] eyes, penetrating and clear, [and] in the amazing stillness there is something ineffably ancient, lofty and religious".
