Sri Lanka, Boursse, Esaias, Seated woman on a boulder, Woman sitting on a boulder, A Eurasian woman is sitting on a boulder. She is dressed in a long wraparound skirt (redda) and a wide Portuguese blouse with a V-neck and long sleeves (hatte). Her hair is thick and wavy, not parted in the middle, but probably tied in a bun (condé) at the back. On her lap lies something that looks like an open bag. The fingers of her left hand are holding something, perhaps an areca nut. In the background on the left a small house with a doorway is very sketchily drawn; the house (mati geya) has half-timbered walls of wood with plaited wicker and palm leaf, filled and covered with clay (mati), and a far-projecting roof of coconut palm leaf (cadjan). In front of it a sitting and a standing figure are sketchily drawn.
