About the Artwork
This evocative portrait, taken between 1900 and 1930, captures two women from the highlands of Burma (now Myanmar) or Northern Thailand—a region home to many indigenous groups including the Karen, Chin, and Kayan. One woman carries a child on her back; the other, a tall bamboo basket. Their textiles, metal jewelry, and calm body language reflect a matrilineal rhythm of labor, kinship, and shared responsibility. Far from staged colonial portraits, this image radiates natural grace and intergenerational warmth amid the upland fields.
