In Spirit of the Dead Watching you're basically looking at Paul Gauguin's child porn ... so, yeah. 

The girl’s name is Tehura and she is Gauguin’s 14-year-old mistress.

Gauguin was inspired to paint this one night when he came home and found Tehura lying nude in bed in shock. Gauguin claims it was spirits of the dead that caused her fear and painted a creepy old lady as the guilty ghost. Historians suggest however, that the real fear was caused by Gauguin’s sexual abuse that takes this painting to an entirely new level of sexual sadism. Gauguin himself said that Tehura had never looked hotter than when she was this vulnerable and he vowed to never leave her. Bet she wishes he had. Gauguin would eventually give Tehura and the rest of the island girls syphilis. 

It had been about seven years since Gauguin abandoned his family in Denmark but in the weirdest estranged marriage ever Gauguin used to write to his wife, Mette, telling her about Tehura. Gauguin was so obsessed with Tehura he put this painting in the background of another painting- his Self-portrait with Hat.

One extra lovely fact about Gauguin, the pervert: he named his house/hut 'La Maison du Jouir' or 'The House of Orgasm' ... Lovely.
