Gauguin gives plastic form to the spirit of the Maori dead. The Tahitians believed that the Tupapau wandered among the living and could be encountered, especially at night. Gauguin's Tupapau takes on the appearance of an elderly woman evoking the figure of the ancestor, wrapped in a cape. It introduces a disturbing and unreal dimension into the world of the living.
