This lithograph by Karl Joseph Brodtmann presents a detailed portrait of a Tahitian dancer. The artwork is part of Brodtmann’s ethnographic series, capturing the attire, posture, and cultural significance of traditional dances in Tahiti, part of French Polynesia. The illustration reflects 19th-century European interest in the "exotic" practices and customs of non-Western cultures.
The lithograph depicts a Tahitian dancer in full traditional dress, posed gracefully as if in the midst of a dance. The dancer’s expression is serene, and her pose is elegant, with one hand extended outward and the other resting on her hip. Her costume and adornments are richly detailed, reflecting the vibrant cultural traditions of Tahiti.
