Sitting side-by-side, two saleswomen are depicted in profile in this painting from Bali. Purwadi paints this scene in a moody, expressionist style, capturing the daily life of people who sell canang in the market. Says the artist, "Canang sari is one of the daily offerings made by Balinese Hindus to thank the Sang Hyang Widhi Wasa (Supreme God) in praise and prayer. Canang sari will be seen in the Balinese temples (pura), on small shrines in houses, and on the ground or as a part of a larger offering."
