Reception of returnees in ancient times
All women prefer the city gates to close their returning hero's arms: At the top of the semi-nude with red skirt and a large bouquet of flowers. At her side the girl balances the welcome drink in jug on her head. Behind the young mother with her child in her arms. The train of women running through palm trees, trees and shrubs to the city, which sits like a fortress on the hill in the background
A delicate watercolor. the image in its construction, the great pleasure of women including that needed to survive long alone and without protection of their husbands.
