This umbrella's screen is decorated by the reproduction of a fragment of Paul Gauguin's famous Tahitian Pastorals. The artist spent the second part of his life in the islands of French Polynesia where he painted local women in their daily routine. Their simple faces and figures evoked in civilized, learned Europeans an association with an earthly paradise. The bright colors and exotic motifs of the umbrella will keep you warm even in the coldest rain.
