Faa Iheihe

Four women, deliberately shown from different angles to demonstrate the variety of female beauty, and wearing a range of costumes, are spied on by two men. From 1891, Gauguin spent most of his life in Tahiti, and the title is a corruption of the Tahitian word fa ai ei e, which means to make oneself beautiful for a special occasion.
