About this work

This is a blank canvas with a faded, dirty yellowish-brown background. The surface has small marks and stains scattered across it, and there’s faint handwriting in the top right corner. In the bottom right, there’s a blue circle with the number "541" inside, along with some black ink markings like "3203" and "M.I." The painting is labeled *Pepeni*, but there’s nothing left to see—just the bare canvas. The stains and scribbles hint at a history of use, maybe even layers of old work underneath. If you’re curious about where this painting lives, check out the Museum of Ethnography.
