  
 This traditional bark cloth painting entitled "Four Fashionable Women" is a creation of the artist Gerrald Kabuye from Uganda. Gerrald painted this portrait with orange, white and black colors because of his artistic design to bring out the natural tones of bark cloth. Each woman is dressed in colorful and traditional clothing, and the different curved lines that Gerrald painted within this portrait are meant to illustrate movement and symbolize unity and togetherness amongst the women. Artist Gerrald Kabuye paints many of his portraits to depict traditional Ugandan women because of the prominent role of the woman in the fabric of the family and society of Ugandan culture. Gerrald illustrates the beauty and strength of the traditional African woman in these paintings.
This medium sized bark cloth painting measures 27.5" long and 13.5" wide. This is a wonderfully unique, traditional and originally hand-signed by the artist 'Kabuye' painting that will look absolutely amazing in a simple black frame.
