EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable wooden carving known as the "Stick with a figure of a European man wearing a cap and holding an umbrella". Created by an anonymous African artist from the Ovimbundu tribe in Angola during the late 19th century, this tribal art piece stands at a height of 18cm. The attention to detail is truly awe-inspiring. The skilled carver has meticulously crafted every aspect of this unique artifact, from the intricate facial features to the perfectly carved moustache. The figure depicts a European man donning a stylish cap and gracefully holding an umbrella, exuding elegance and sophistication. With its elongated length of 86cm, this walking stick not only serves as an exquisite work of art but also functions as a practical tool for support. Its sturdy handle ensures comfort while adding another layer of artistic expression. Preserved within a private collection owned by eMichael Graham-Stewart, this exceptional piece offers us insight into the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of Africa. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured its beauty through their lens, allowing viewers to appreciate the craftsmanship that went into creating such an extraordinary masterpiece. As we admire this photograph print, let us reflect on how art transcends boundaries and connects people across different continents and time periods.
