In this work, too, the influence of visits to Tahiti is felt. In the picture, the Christian figures of the Virgin Mary and Jesus are transformed into a Tahitian mother and child.
Two other women aside, like angels, worship the mother of the child. “La Orana Maria” was well received by spectators and critics.
