''Te Faaturuma'' (also known as ''The Brooding Woman'') is an 1891 painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin. Created during Gauguin's first stay in Tahiti, the painting is emblematic of his search for a primordial paradise and his fascination with the perceived exotic qualities of the island and its inhabitants. The work depicts a Tahitian woman seated in a thoughtful or melancholic pose, which is suggested by the title "Te Faaturuma," a Tahitian phrase that can be translated as "the brooding woman."

The painting is rendered in Gauguin's characteristic style, which blends bold colors, simplified forms, and strong outlines, a technique that was influenced by the Synthetist movement, of which he was a proponent. This approach was part of Gauguin's broader rejection of the Western artistic tradition and his pursuit of a more spiritual and symbolic form of expression. The composition of ''Te Faaturuma'' is notable for its flattened perspective and the decorative patterns that adorn the woman's clothing and the surrounding environment, reflecting Gauguin's interest in the decorative arts and his appreciation for non-Western artistic traditions, including Tahitian and other Oceanic art forms.

''Te Faaturuma'' is considered an important work in Gauguin's oeuvre, as it encapsulates the themes of cultural encounter and the idealization of the "other" that are central to his Tahitian period. The painting also reflects the complex and often problematic nature of Gauguin's interactions with Tahitian culture, as he simultaneously celebrated and exoticized the lives of the Tahitian people. The woman's introspective pose has been interpreted in various ways, ranging from a portrayal of the universal human condition to a more specific commentary on the cultural dislocation experienced by Tahitians under French colonial rule.

The painting is held in a number of prestigious collections and has been exhibited in major museums around the world. It continues to be the subject of scholarly analysis and is frequently discussed in the context of Post-Impressionism, primitivism in art, and the broader history of European artists working in colonial contexts. ''Te Faaturuma'' remains a testament to Gauguin's enduring legacy and his contribution to the development of modern art at the turn of the 20th century.
