A woman works coloured thread between henna-marked fingers, her eyes lowered in concentration, gold rings catching the light as strands of red, blue, and ochre fall loosely against a ground of raw wood grain. Women of the Land II continues the visual language of the series before it realism held against a looser, more textured field but turns its attention here to the hands themselves, the tool of a craft learned rather than taught outright. It stands comfortably within any heritage art gallery built around the quieter forms of Emirati work.
Painted in oil on canvas, the work sets closely observed hands and fabric against a background left deliberately raw and wood-like in texture.
The canvas measures 18 x 24 inches, matching the scale of its companion pieces in the Echoes of Heritage series.
An original work and the second piece in the series, it is available as local art for sale alongside the rest of the collection.
Women of the Land II holds its attention on a craft carried in the hands rather than spoken aloud, giving quiet weight to work often left unrecorded. It can be found among the pieces you can buy art online through MB Gallery's Echoes of Heritage collection.
