Waiting 1967

"Waiting" is a 1967 watercolor painting by Petros Malayan, depicting two women in traditional Middle Eastern dress. The figures are seated in a dimly lit interior, their faces obscured by their veils. The painting evokes a sense of quiet contemplation and the passage of time, as the women patiently await an unknown event. Malayan's loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors create a sense of movement and energy, even within the stillness of the scene. This artwork is a powerful exploration of the human experience and the enduring strength of tradition.
