Description

A standing figure in a tall conical straw hat, pale blouse, blue-grey vest, and green plaid sarong rests one bent leg on a wooden railing, gazing down at a bare-chested seated figure wearing a teal headscarf and gold hoop earrings and draped in a yellow cloth. Behind them a hazy waterfront recedes toward blue mountains under a sky streaked with orange and yellow clouds. Paul Jacoulet, "Sunset in Menado, Calebes," 1938, color woodblock print on paper under glass.
