Original Description
Charles William Bartlett's Afghani Mother & Child, Khyber Pass (1919) is a captivating woodblock print that exudes quiet dignity and maternal tenderness, set against the rugged beauty of the Khyber Pass. The artwork reflects Bartlett’s mastery of Japanese ukiyo-e techniques, blending Western subject matter with the graceful lines and flattened planes of Eastern printmaking—a hallmark of his cross-cultural approach during his time in Japan (1915–1919). The muted earth tones and delicate detailing of the Afghan woman’s drapery contrast poignantly with the barren mountainous backdrop, symbolizing resilience and intimacy amid hardship. As part of Bartlett’s broader documentation of Asian and Middle Eastern cultures, this piece holds significance in early 20th-century art history for bridging ethnographic observation with artistic innovation, particularly within the shin-hanga (new prints) movement that revitalized traditional Japanese printmaking.
For interior styling, this work’s warm ochres and soft blues harmonize beautifully with neutral or rustic settings—consider placing it in a study, bedroom, or lounge to evoke contemplative serenity. Its vertical composition (typical of woodblock prints) suits narrow walls or spaces between windows, while a minimalist frame in oak or black lacquer would accentuate its organic textures. Pair it with linen textiles, matte ceramics, or handwoven rugs to echo its earthy palette. In offices, it enriches collaborative spaces with cultural depth; opt for larger reproductions (e.g., A2 size) to ensure visibility, balancing its subtle details against bold furniture. The restrained drama of the Khyber Pass landscape also makes it an apt focal point for rooms with clean lines, where its narrative richness can shine.
