One of two drawings of Burmese scenes.

ca.1920

Depicts a Burmese building possibly an entrance to a palace or a pagoda which is distinguished by a group of three pyatthat (multi tiered roof). A feature which was reserved in pre-colonial times to royal buildings and religious edifices. The entrance gate, which is shown with people approaching, entering and leaving, is flanked by two white chinthes (lion-griffin guardian figures). An atmospheric effect is achieved in soft grey greens, reds and golds.
