About this work
This article was machine-translated from the original Persian and may contain inaccuracies.
The triptych “The Tent-Dwellers” consists of three continuous canvases that show, side by side, aspects of tribal life: rich colours from the orange fire of the tandoor and the dark clothing of the women, a woman weaving a kilim, two women baking bread, and another woman shaking a goatskin churn, set against a background of the soft colours of tiles.
