In this thread please post the memorable paintings and drawings of Pashtuns that you have come across by non-Pashtuns.
The painting above is simply called "In Afghanistan" and was painted by NYC artist Eleanor Gilpatrick. In her own words she describes her inspiration:
"It is a based on a photograph in an exhibit by Afghan women university students, 2005. The photo shows that Afghan women are not forced to wear the Burqa and can travel without a male family member, such as on this remote village road. But Taliban and religious terrorist rule has influenced women to cover their faces with a Chadar (scarf). Before, women would only cover their heads, not their faces. I had permission to use the photo as a basis for my painting from the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC), which sponsored the exhibit."

This is a small collection of paintings depicting Afghan women by various non-Afghan artists that I had saved in an online album.
