Note: The work has been authenticated by the artist.

Senaka Senanayake's Untitled (Wash Day) is a celebration of daily life in rural Sri Lanka, rendered with the artist's characteristic use of rhythmic forms. The painting depicts women engaged in washing clothes by a river, surrounded by foliage. The artist's distinctive style characterized by fluid lines and stylised forms imbues the scene with an almost dreamlike quality, elevating a quotidian moment to one of serene beauty and introspection.
