About this work

This photo shows a group of people dressed in long, light-colored robes. They’re kneeling or standing in a line, some holding tall blue poles with crosses on top. The ground is made of stone tiles, and there are a few scattered flowers on the floor. Behind them, a window opens to a green, hilly landscape with a winding river. The people look like they’re praying or waiting, maybe for rain—since the title means "Prayer for Rain." Their robes and the poles suggest a religious procession, possibly in a rural area.
