Description
Portrait of a Kongo chief. Central Africa, 20th century Mixed media. Dimensions: 38 × 58 cm. An ethnographic portrait depicting a Kongo chief adorned with an elaborate feather headdress, created using a composition of plant materials applied to a jute backing. The work combines bark, raffia and other organic elements arranged in a patchwork style, resulting in a visually striking and highly decorative image. Although conceived within the realm of folk or tourist art, the piece stands out for its freshness, expressiveness and meticulous execution, reflecting a free and charismatic interpretation of traditional African iconography. Item held in an international warehouse (within the EU). Intra-EU shipping: no import duties apply within the EU. An export licence from the country of origin may be required.
