Subject

Nude woman in boat

Description

In this rather surreal scene, painted by Mahoud Ahmad, a boat carries a man and a woman to an unknown destination. The gaunt man gazes off in the distance holding a long pole that is the supposed propellant of the vessel. Whilst inside the boat the nude form of a woman with exaggerated bodily features lies sleeping. Both figures seem unaware of the impending danger as shark fins appear above the water headed for the boat with insinuated speed.
