About this work

This print shows a crowd of people in simple black-and-white shapes. Everyone wears striped robes or plain clothes, and some hold staffs or books. The figures stand close together, with one person in the center holding a baby. The background has dotted patterns, and the whole scene feels busy but orderly. Notice how the artist used bold outlines and flat colors—no shading to show depth. This style makes the figures look like carved wood or stamped designs. If you like this, look up Azaria Mbatha to see more of their bold, graphic prints.
