This painting shows six women dressed in dark robes and head coverings, standing and sitting under an arched stone porch. Behind them, a courtyard with buildings, domed towers, and a few trees is visible. Brightly colored rugs and fabrics are spread on the ground, and one woman holds a woven cloth. The women’s clothing and the architecture suggest a specific cultural setting, though the exact place isn’t clear from the image alone. Look up Museum of Ethnography to see more works like this.
