About the Item
Executed in a brilliant palette of sky blue, jade green, ivory and chocolate brown, this striking drawing of a Black male figure carrying a pile of green bananas on his head was done in pastels on paper. The figure, his load of green fruit and his white shirt are all stylized in a way that suggests an artist in Central or South America. It is framed, but not signed.
