"Girl In Bow Of Canoe Spreading Out Her Loin Cloth For A Sail Samoa Aka Fayaway" is a notable work by the American painter John La Farge, created during his travels in the South Pacific. John La Farge (1835–1910) was a multifaceted artist known for his work as a painter, muralist, stained glass window maker, decorator, and writer. This particular painting reflects La Farge's fascination with the exotic and idyllic landscapes he encountered, as well as the indigenous peoples and their cultures.

The painting, often referred to simply as "Fayaway," depicts a young Samoan girl in the bow of a canoe, using her loincloth as a makeshift sail. The title of the work references a character from Herman Melville's novel "Typee," which La Farge was known to have admired. The character Fayaway embodies the romanticized notion of the noble savage, living in harmony with nature, which was a common theme in the literature and art of the 19th century.

La Farge's journey to the South Pacific was part of a broader trend among artists and writers of the period who sought inspiration and escape from industrialized society. His works from this period are characterized by their rich coloration and sensitive portrayal of light and atmosphere, which he achieved through his mastery of watercolor and other media.

The painting is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its anthropological interest. La Farge was among the early artists to document the cultures of the South Pacific with a level of detail and empathy that was uncommon for his time. His portrayal of the Samoan girl is both a romanticized artistic vision and a valuable historical record of the region's indigenous people.

"Girl In Bow Of Canoe Spreading Out Her Loin Cloth For A Sail Samoa Aka Fayaway" is held in high regard for its contribution to the understanding of cross-cultural encounters in the 19th century and for its place within the oeuvre of John La Farge, whose work continues to be studied for its innovative approach to color and form, as well as its cultural significance.
