About this work

This photo shows two men in suits standing side by side in a studio. Both look straight at the camera with serious faces. The men were probably British officials or businessmen in Ceylon, now Sri Lanka. The photo was taken for a European audience, not for them. It was meant to show how locals dressed or worked. See it in person at The Cleveland Museum of Art.
