The Ameya by Robert Frederick Blum: A painting of a crowded street scene with people wearing traditional clothing. The scene depicts a street with a woman sitting on a wooden box, wearing a blue headscarf, blue top, black pants, and white shoes. The woman holds a tool. There are several children around her, one wears an orange kimono. Other people are in the background, one carries a white umbrella, another a baby. There are several buildings in the background with signs and banners with foreign writing. A cart with goods is on the left side. The overall atmosphere appears to be a busy market or shopping area.
