This painting presents a man rowing his boat using his leg. The painting alludes to the leg rowing as a way of life among the community living around lake Inle in Myanmar. This man is carrying vegetables probably going to market on lake. The lake serves the Inthar and Kayan communities with fish and vegetable from floating gardens on the lake. Rowing the boat using the legs makes it easy to navigate. This painting therefore exhibits the economic life and the importance of the lake to the community.
