작품 상세

Tan Thean Song works mainly in the batik medium, although he also paints in watercolours and Chinese ink. This 1966 work has a boisterous and cool-toned palette, with the typical cracking-line technique peaking through. It depicts a market of some kind, with umbrellas to provide shelter and a group of subjects huddled in the foreground, selling something of sorts. This painting is the embodiment of memory lane where vendors in markets involved women.
