This is a painting of a young Black male, depicted in a profile view facing right. He has a large, dark, afro hairstyle, adorned with several dark feathers. His skin is a rich, dark brown. White markings are painted on his face, in broad strokes across his cheeks and nose, and thinner lines extending to his temples. He wears a necklace of light-colored, shell-like beads. A white band, also appearing to be made of small beads or dots, encircles his upper left arm. He is holding a bunch of vibrant green leaves in his hands. His lower body is partially visible, wearing what appears to be a patterned cloth around his waist. The background is a textured, muted yellow-ochre color with faint, lighter yellow swirling lines that suggest an abstract or atmospheric element. The painting is rendered with realistic detail in the figure and foliage, contrasting with the more abstract background. There is no discernible location in the city of Ado, Nigeria depicted in this artwork.
