介绍（中）	1893年至1894年，高更第一次前往塔希提岛后，在巴黎开始为《芳香》创作文本和插图。该项目最初被设想为讲述高更对塔希提岛的个人和艺术认知，但最终变得更加复杂和神秘，充满了对塔希提岛创造神话和古代毛利文化的引用。高更为《诺亚》设计了十幅木版印刷品，与其说是插图，不如说是灵感来源：它们与他浪漫化的自传体文本几乎没有关系，也似乎没有遵循任何特定的顺序。然而，版画的意象和主题——爱与恐惧、创造与死亡、白天与夜晚——与高更的塔希提作品保持一致这张照片显示一位裸体女性坐在河岸上；背景中，另一名举起双臂的妇女准备跳入河中。高更在塔希提的所有作品中都再现了年轻漂亮女人在水体旁沐浴或闲逛的画面。虽然这张图片并不是对《诺亚方舟》文本的字面说明，但它与第一章中描述妇女在法塔纳河中洗澡的部分产生了共鸣。
介绍（英）	Gauguin began working on the text and illustrations for Noa Noa (Fragrant Scent) while in Paris in 1893-94 following his first voyage to Tahiti. The project was originally conceived as a narrative of Gauguin's personal and artistic perceptions of Tahiti but ultimately became something much more complex and mysterious, full of references to Tahitian creation myths and ancient Maori culture. Gauguin designed ten woodblock prints for Noa Noa, which function less as illustrations than as inspired corollaries: they bear little relationship to his romanticized autobiographical text, nor do they seem to follow any particular sequence. However, the imagery and themes of the prints - love and fear, creation and death, day and night - are in keeping with much of Gauguin's Tahitian oeuvre. This print shows a female nude seated on a riverbank; a second woman with raised arms prepares to plunge into the river in the background. Images of beautiful young women bathing or lounging beside bodies of water reappear throughout Gauguin's Tahitian oeuvre. While this image was not meant as a literal illustration of the text of Noa Noa, it resonates with a section of the first chapter which describes women bathing their legs in the Fatana River.
