In this picture I see people was making weapons. They was practicing and reviewing the weapons probably used for defense or fight. People talk to each other about something, but their face looks scared and worried. The man in blue had command to the man in red. I choose this picture because I think this picture will help me understand Orietnlism with their clothes, their hat look like Egypt. The Tittle of this picture is Cafe House but it is not look like cafe house, it look like somewhere that people can sit, talk and safe. Orientlism in my mind that places in Asian, people under the regime's dependence, they may be enslaved, oppressed, or do not really have a life of leisure
