Some early cubist elements are evident in the background. A mountainous setting with trees and blue sky towers over a cluster of stylized figures (lower right) with parasols. They are on their way to a Balinese temple, indicated by a fragmented candi bentar (split gateway) decorated with colorful umbul-umbul(long, slender banners) for a ceremony. Gift of C. van H. ten Ham (Malang, East Java) |
