African Tribal Celebration: Alex Haley Roots for Readers Digest

Creator: Noel Sickles
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
Complex and detailed epic scale history painting of an African tribal celebration with an on-looking king. The work has an abundant amount of detail from the style and character of the people to the magnificent umbrellas each with its own beautiful abstract artwork and animals atop each one. The work is masterfully composed with over a hundred figural studies all in traditional African costumes. This is a celebration and not a depiction of everyday life. Done on assignment for Readers Digest. Matted but not framed. ( a frame is available but it's not an attractive frame).
