Signed Impressionist Painting of Three Figures from Ghana, "Covenants of the Gods"

This painting by Ghanaian artist Cecilia Adeniran depicts a group of three godly figures standing arm-in-arm as they make a covenant over humankind. Says the artist, "The oath was taken to protect the people as long as sacrifices were made regularly." She paints in the impressionist style, reflecting the otherworldly quality of the subject matter.
