One of a Si Saket series of rural farming in northern Thailand, by Mitree Parahom, this picture dominates the sitting area of the principal bedroom, drawing as it does from the influence of
Diego Rivera. Above is a print of Rivera's Emilano Zapata and his horse, 1932. Zapata was murdered in 1919 for his opposition to landowners and advocacy of agrarian reform. Here he is shown dressed in white peasant clothes, leading a white horse, and standing over the body of a Spanish conquistador.
