Portrait of a Kongo chief. Central Africa, 20th century

Descriptio Mixed media. Dimensions: 38 × 58 cm. An ethnographic portrait depicting a Kongo chief adorned with an elaborate feather headdress, created using a composition of plant materials applied to a jute support. The work combines bark, raffia, and other organic elements arranged in a patchwork style, resulting in a visually striking and highly decorative image. Although conceived within the realm of folk or tourist art, the piece stands out for its freshness, expressiveness, and meticulous execution, reflecting a free and charismatic interpretation of traditional African iconography.
