| Some typical Balinese household activities are seen in a small compound set amidst colorful trees and fields. Bundles of indigenous rice are taken down from a granary, while woman pound and winow more rice for daily meals (lower left). In one pavilion a smith works on some metal tools. The furnace is kept hot by pumping twin bellows. Youths play with their fighting cocks. Farmers in the distant fields are the same size as those in the foreground, a typical feature of the Young Artists style of naive genre painting, in addition to the bright colors and dark outlines. | |||||||||||||||||||||
