Two naked women on a white background with purple, green, blue and gray, sitting in Indian red, gray and black.
The representation of female nudes is a constant theme especially in Balmoni´s later works.
At this engraving the shape is given by areas of color more than lines.
TThe title refers to the way Western cultures perceived India and another Asian countries, as a warm and exotic place with beautiful women poorly dressed sitting cross-legged resting from the Sun.
