"Te Arii Vahine" (also known as "The Queen of Beauty") is an oil painting by French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created during his first trip to Tahiti in 1891. This work is one of many that reflect Gauguin's fascination with the perceived exoticism and idyllic qualities of the Tahitian landscape and its inhabitants, which became central themes in his art during this period.

The painting depicts a Tahitian woman of high status, as suggested by the title "Te Arii Vahine," which translates to "The Noble Woman" or "The Queen." She is seated in a relaxed, yet regal pose against a backdrop that features the lush vegetation of the island. The subject's traditional clothing, adornments, and the tranquil expression on her face are rendered with Gauguin's characteristic use of bold colors and strong outlines, which contribute to the stylized and symbolic nature of the work.

"Te Arii Vahine" exemplifies Gauguin's departure from European artistic conventions and his embrace of a more synthetic approach to painting, which combined elements of the real world with his imagination and artistic symbolism. This painting, like many of his Tahitian works, raises complex issues regarding the representation of colonial subjects and the interplay between the idealization of indigenous cultures and the realities of colonial impact.

The artwork is significant in the study of Gauguin's oeuvre as it highlights his contribution to Primitivism, an art movement that sought inspiration from non-Western cultures and was influential in the development of modern art. "Te Arii Vahine" is not only a testament to Gauguin's artistic evolution but also serves as a historical document reflecting the cultural encounters and exchanges during the late 19th century.

Today, "Te Arii Vahine" is held in a prominent public collection and continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and public fascination, contributing to discussions on post-colonialism, representation, and the legacy of European artists working in non-Western contexts.
