About this item
- Content
Genre/Subject Matter:
This full-length seated portrait shows two men, described as pilgrims from Edi (Idi Rayeuk, a town in Aceh Province, Indonesia). They are seated face forward, looking towards the camera.
The man on the right wears light-coloured trousers, a sleeveless embroidered shirt, open at the neck, a striped turban and sandals. He holds another piece of striped cloth across his lap. The man on the left wears a pale-coloured shirt, sleeves rolled up at the elbows, over mid-coloured trouasers and a dark-coloured skull cap. The two men sit on foldable chairs.
The negative has had hand-work applied, causing it to take on a soft-shaded paint-like quality in places. In particular the original background has been substituted completely, except for the ground on which their chairs stand.
