Transport yourself to the shores of Africa with this breathtaking original by renowned Belgian painter Jan Keteleer. His figurative expressionist style masterfully captures a local fisherwoman retrieving her nets, the vibrant colors and textures bringing the scene to life.

You can almost feel the warmth of the African sun and hear the lap of waves in this 40cm x 40cm acrylic and ink piece. Titled "Fisherman's Wife in Africa", it offers a rare glimpse into the daily lives of coastal communities relying on traditional fishing methods for sustenance.

Despite its modest size, the painting has an iconic, mural-like quality, inviting the viewer into Keteleer's stylized vision of life along the African coastline. The exaggerated features and active brushwork imbue the work with energy and atmosphere.

Framed in understated black wood, this signed original will lend any art collection a dash of the exotic. It captures the essence of a traditional way of living that seems almost timeless, yet is threatened in today's modern world. An evocative conversation piece that makes you pause and think about the meaning behind the mundane.

At once casual and moving, this little jewel of a painting will appeal to art lovers looking to add an authentic piece of African life to their interiors. A rare find by a 20th century master who skillfully walked the line between realism and abstraction.
