Signed Expressionist Painting of a Ghanaian Mother and Child, "Lullaby"

A mother plays a soft lullaby on the flute to put her child to sleep. This calm, emotional scene is captured in the expressionist style by Ghanaian artist Nii Addo, painting with an array of colors. He reflects on the way many Ghanaian mothers will sing lullabies in different dialects, adding that it is the most effective way to put a child to sleep. The canvas is accented with the artist's characteristic glittering paste.
