Vintage Photo Fine Arts Associates Idol with Pearl" Bronze Art Sculpture Carving An important Gauguin sculpture from Tahiti is not what it seems. Although entitled Idol with a Pearl , the pearl on the forehead was actually added nearly 30 years later, long after the artist’s death. Evidence for the addition has been discovered in the diary of George Daniel de Monfreid, a friend of Paul Gauguin . The Musée d’Orsay in Paris, which owns the sculpture, may therefore consider retitling it. Some minor wear, creases. Please see photos for more detail.
