Signed Expressionist Acrylic Painting of a Tomato Merchant, "Sweet Tomatoes"

Tomatoes can have a lot of connotations in different cultures, but for the hardworking Ghanaian women, these delicious fruits are a reward for their courageous spirit and a sign of hope for a better future. Artist Mawuli Quartey portrays the daily lives of these brave women through an acrylic expressionist composition in a cool palette, depicting a lady carrying the fruits of her labor on a tray that she proudly displays on top of her head as is the classic custom.

This gorgeous artwork comes unstretched and signed by the artist.
