"Kungka Kutjarra (Two Women)" is a 2001 painting by Australian Indigenous artist Makinti Napanangka (c. 1930–2011). This artwork is a prime example of the artist's distinct style, using a limited palette of earthy hues to evoke the rich landscape of the Western Desert. The painting utilizes a unique composition of horizontal stripes, which are often interpreted as representing the terrain or waterholes within the artist's ancestral land. The work's title, "Two Women", alludes to the spiritual significance of women in the artist's culture and their connection to the land.
