Year created: 2012
Medium: Oil on board
An interior scene depicting figures engaged with clothing and hats in what appears to be a shop setting. The composition features a standing figure and a child examining garments, surrounded by draped fabrics and accessories in warm, earthy tones punctuated by vibrant accents of red and blue. Van Wyk renders the scene with loose, gestural brushwork that conveys movement and domestic activity. The work is executed in oil on board at an intimate scale.
