Subject

Man carrying palm tree

Description

The main figure in this painting, by Mahoud Ahmad, is a lean yet muscular man, clothed simply in rolled trousers, carrying an uprooted palm tree on his back. The man’s facial expression is not one of strain despite the supposed effort of baring such a weight up a slight incline. The background of the piece is non-descript being composed of blackish smears and gives little indication to the viewer of the setting in which this man labors.
