Framed Print of Paul Gauguin's 'The Ukulele Player' (Haere Pape)

This item is a framed color print of the famous 19th-century Post-Impressionist work 'The Ukulele Player' (also known as Haere Pape), originally created by Paul Gauguin during his time in Tahiti. The artwork depicts three Polynesian figures in a tropical setting; one woman stands playing a stringed instrument, while two others rest below near a palm tree. The color palette is characteristic of Gauguin's Tahitian period, featuring earthy browns, sunset oranges, muted greens, and soft yellows. The print appears to be a lithographic or high-quality offset reproduction on paper. It is housed in a modern professional framing treatment consisting of a multi-layered mat (white, black, and gold/tan) and what appears to be a metallic or gilded wood frame. The construction shows a clean, modern aesthetic indicative of late 20th-century framing. The condition appears fair to good, though there is visible light glare on the glass, making it difficult to assess for foxing or fading; however, some slight discoloration to the matting suggests age. There are no immediate signs of a signature or limited edition numbering visible in the current view, suggesting this is a decorative open-edition reproduction. The style captures the Primitivist movement of the 1890s, focused on stylized forms and flat fields of color.
