"Te Faaturuma" (also known as "The Brooding Woman") is an oil painting by French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created during his first stay in Tahiti in 1891. The painting is a quintessential example of Gauguin's search for a primitive and exotic paradise, which he hoped to find in the French colony of Tahiti. It depicts a Tahitian woman in a state of melancholy or deep thought, embodying the artist's romanticized and often misunderstood perception of the Tahitian people and culture.

The composition of "Te Faaturuma" is marked by the use of bold colors, simplified forms, and strong outlines, characteristics that are emblematic of Gauguin's mature style. The subject is seated with her chin resting on her hand, a pose that suggests introspection and perhaps a sense of ennui or longing. The background is composed of flat areas of color, with minimal indication of depth, reflecting Gauguin's departure from the European tradition of perspective and his embrace of the aesthetic qualities he associated with so-called "primitive" art.

"Te Faaturuma" is significant not only for its artistic qualities but also for its cultural and historical context. Gauguin's works from this period have been the subject of extensive critical discussion, particularly regarding the artist's colonial gaze and the impact of his representations on the understanding of Tahitian culture. The painting is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in major museums around the world, contributing to the ongoing discourse on post-Impressionism, primitivism, and the legacy of colonialism in art.

This painting, like many of Gauguin's works, has been analyzed for its complex interplay of cultural appropriation, exoticism, and the artist's personal mythology. "Te Faaturuma" continues to captivate audiences and scholars alike, serving as a poignant example of Gauguin's artistic journey and the broader narrative of European artists seeking inspiration beyond their own borders during the late 19th century.
