Superb and full of character, a rather small vintage African gouache on paper, depicting a man in tribal clothes, carrying calabashes of water, circa 1960's. The colors are very contrasted, black, red, yellow, and the artist has played with the geometry of the hot calabashes, the man's clothes and even his hairdress. The painting is signed and framed in a retro black frame with a glass. Condition : the painting itself is well-kept. The frame is worn in its corners, the glass has a little dirt on the underside, the white part of the mount paper has lightly yellowed. Please see photos. There is a hanging hook in the back.
