Nafea Faaipoipo (Nāfea fa’aipoipo)

The story

Two young Tahitian women sit in a meadow of flowers. One wears a bright pareu with a white tiare flower behind her ear — the local sign that she's looking for a husband — while the other wears a buttoned-up missionary dress. Gauguin painted it in 1892.
