Description
This stamp reproduces the work “The Washer” by the painter Yahia Turki, considered the “father of Tunisian painting”. The illustration depicts a traditional domestic scene in the heart of a patio of a house in the medina, where two women are busy around the laundry. Through this artistic choice, Tunisia promotes its national school of painting and pays homage to ancestral daily life, capturing the aesthetics of white and blue architecture as well as the dignity of female domestic work, central elements of the country's social and visual heritage.
