American artist Edwin Lord Weeks' oil painting "The Snake Charmers, Bombay" depicts two men in traditional clothing playing music to a basket of snakes. The painting was likely completed during Weeks' extensive travels to India from 1883-1886, where he became known for his depictions of daily life and exotic scenes. "The Snake Charmers, Bombay" exemplifies Weeks' fascination with the culture and people of India, and this artwork is a great example of his work.
