About this work

In this painting, three women stand in a cemetery, each dressed in dark attire. The woman on the left wears a blue headscarf and a blue coat, while the woman in the middle is clad in a black coat and headscarf. The woman on the right sports a brown coat and a blue headscarf. They are positioned in front of a wooden cross, which is situated on a grassy hill dotted with purple flowers. The women's somber expressions and dark clothing evoke a sense of mourning and solemnity. The artist's use of muted colors and the women's subdued postures contribute to the overall melancholic atmosphere of the scene. This painting is held at the Museum of Ethnography.
