Egyptian women 1912

"Egyptian Women" is a 1912 painting by Armenian artist Martiros Sarian, known for his vibrant colors and expressionistic style. The painting depicts two women in traditional Egyptian clothing, walking against a bright yellow background with hints of blue and green representing palm trees. The woman on the left carries a large pot on her head, while the woman on the right carries a basket. Sarian's use of bold colors and simplified forms reflects his artistic journey towards modernist principles, capturing the essence of everyday life in Egypt.
