Drawing By H. Rakotomalala
Artist: H. Rakotomalala
This artwork is a drawing depicting traditional musicians from Madagascar, as suggested by the artist's name and the style of the instruments (the violin is very prominent in the music of the Malagasy coast and highlands). The signature reads H. Rakotomalala. Several artists from this family produced works in the 20th century. The style is academic and precise, with beautiful use of shadows, typical of illustrators from the colonial or post-colonial period (1950s-1970s). The subject (musicians) is highly sought after by collectors of African/Malagasy art because it is decorative and culturally rich. The paper has some foxing, which does not detract from the quality or aesthetic appeal of the artwork. 25 x 32 cm
