Signed Portrait Painting of a Girl from the Omo River Valley, "Festival Disguise"

With her hair colored by red ocher clay and her face painted with white ash, a young girl is ready for a tribal festival. Kwesi Botchway depicts a child from the remote Omo River Valley of Ethiopia, where 16 ethnic groups practice their ancestral ways of life. Despite her disguise, the Ghanaian artist captures a bit of her personality.
