time when people met at an intersection. A man is

have just returned from the market, carrying the
acrylics on canvas goods they have purchased or brought back, in

baskets, on top of their heads. A young boy is seen
signed (lower left):”Iny. Tjakra Penestanan Ubud Bali” following one of the women. Another woman
carries firewood she has just collected from the
Rp. 5 - 7.500.000 woods outside the village, while a man and his child
are also just returning from a hard day’s work in the
US$ 357 - 536
market. A woman is just about to enter her house
gate carrying a vessel of water she has just collected
from the water spring. Beyond the village, we can
see a woman in front of her house, who is praying.
