Title not known (Hassan Al Said 5)

Subject

Color-filled scene with reduced, tightly packed figures

Description

In this painting, Shakir Hassan Al Said utilizes distinct color fields and, at times, thick black outlines to delineate the characters within the composition. A group of figures are tightly packed towards the right side of the canvas. The individuals in the group are barely distinguishable from one another and are disjointed in their organization. To the left third of the composition, a simplified architectural structure and a singular vine sit below a large copper disc.
