The painting presents a stylized portrait of King Cetshwayo kaMpande of Zulu land with a unique, expressive, and almost ethereal quality.
The subject has dark skin and is depicted wearing a distinctive hat with horizontal stripes of yellow, green, and brown. They are holding a long, thin red object that extends across their body, suggesting it may be some kind of staff or musical instrument.
Behind the King, there is an abstract, colorful background reminiscent of wings accounting for the Ethiopian Angel. This is composed of segmented lines and geometric shapes in a spectrum of colors including yellows, pinks, blues, and greens. These colors are applied with a wax-like texture.
The artist employs a technique of heavy linework, with visible black lines outlining and defining the shapes and forms throughout the composition. This gives the painting a somewhat raw, sketch-like quality while also contributing to its overall dynamism.
The color palette is vivid and bright, contributing to the unique and expressive quality of the artwork. It evokes a sense of creativity, spirituality, and perhaps a hint of fantasy or the supernatural. The visible canvas and textured application add depth and tactile interest to the work. Overall, the style suggests a modern, abstract approach to portraiture with rich and symbolic undertones.
