  • Mg Tun Hla (Burmese, 1874–1946), At The Shwedagon Pagoda, Circa 1925
Note:

Mg Tun Hla was one of the first and most important Burmese artists who painted watercolours in the Western manner. This influence was introduced to Myanmar in the first decade of the 20th century, and since then watercolour painting has earned a prominent place within the country's artistic narrative.
