Chopping banana stems to make food for pigs
1969 - Watercolour
-----
Food preparation is an important part of livestock production. The image of a girl attentively chopping banana trunks to make food for pigs is nothing strange to our people. A notable detail in this painting is the rifle and the small bag hung up behind the girl. This truly reflects a historical period when the whole country united for national salvation, when everyone became soldiers always ready to take up arms to protect the homeland, yet they also worked hard to maintain life during the time of war.
