Bahian Women

Wearing dresses of vibrant red and blue, two women from the Bahia region of Brazil are the subject for this painting. Ernesto Duarte paints this composition in an expressionist style, depicting the two women with abstract features against a background of green, yellow, and red. One woman is seated at a small table, while the other stands, balancing a bowl of fruits atop her head.
