An evocative vintage Peruvian watercolor painting by artist Thad Poland. It depicts traditional Andean women working in the Callejón de Huaylas valley. Furthermore, the piece bears a fascinating historical inscription referencing Igor Stravinsky, beautifully framed under glass.
- Authentic Andean Subject: The artwork portrays native Andean women working in the high Peruvian cordillera. Moreover, their colorful layered pollera skirts and brimmed hats capture authentic regional folk costume.
- Peruvian Callejón de Huaylas Scene: The scene captures life in the high-altitude Andes of Peru. In addition, fluid watercolor washes and confident ink strokes render the figures with great movement.
- Artist Inscription & Provenance: The lower edge features the artist’s original handwritten note: “To George & Blanch / the Stravinsky sketch / Indian women from Callejón de Huaylas Peru / Thad Poland”.
- Theatrical & Musical Heritage: The dedication links this Andean study to creative projects connected to Igor Stravinsky. Therefore, the work appeals strongly to collectors of fine art and performing arts history.
- Display Dimensions: The framed artwork measures 57 x 68 cm (approx. 22.4″ x 26.8″ inches / 1’10” x 2’3″ feet). Thus, it offers an eye-catching decorative size for a study, living room, or gallery wall.
- Quality Vintage Presentation: The piece is mounted under glass with an ochre mat and a burgundy wooden frame. Both the paper and frame remain in very good vintage condition.
