The present work depicts two figures watching a game of Buzkashi, the young boy learning how to play. Buzkashi, known to many as the toughest game in the world, is Afghanistan’s national sport, and can be dated back to the 13th Century. Played to this day, it was temporarily banned under the Taliban regime, who deemed it immoral.
