This vibrant painting depicts a ceremonial entourage, utilizing a compressed pictorial space that emphasizes community. The musicians and a caparisoned horse are brought into the immediate foreground, establishing an intimate perspective.

James employs naturalistic modelling with subtle chiaroscuro to sculpt the figures' features. Through a harmonious palette of warm ochres and cool mint greens, paired with delicate, gestural brushwork on the traditional fans and tassels, the work celebrates the sonic pageantry of Northern Nigerian cultural festivals.

This work will be shipped unframed.
