A figure in a red shirt and blue skirt sits with arms crossed, wearing a distinctive patterned headwrap in ochre and blue. Before them lies an abundant arrangement of yellow bananas and green produce, rendered in bold strokes of acrylic paint. The composition balances the sitter’s contemplative pose against the vibrant still-life below, employing expressive colour and simplified forms.
