The oil painting at auction is distinguished by bringing together in a single composition various human types of the indigenous Indonesian community. The scene presents figures from the rural environment -men, women, children and elders- playing different roles in community life, dressed in traditional clothing and engaged in daily activities such as music, sewing or family care, thus conveying a vision of simple life, traditions, cultural identity and the close connection of these communities with their natural environment.
