Wool tapestry, "Women from the Countryside"

Three women talk together, their quiet conversation excluding everyone else. Wide brimmed hats and long, graceful skirts are traditional garb in the chill highlands. Working in handloomed virgin wool, Walter Paucar Velarde captures the essence of an Andean scene. The stylized line and bright color make this tapestry a contemporary classic.

Titled "Campesinas de los Andes" in Spanish.
