DescriptionThe outline of the image is an eight sided geometric shape, wider at the bottom and narrower at the top. The foreground appears to be a dock or barge where barrels are being loaded. A female figure in an orange dress dances on top of the barge, while a male figure, wearing a sling tee shirt, behind plays a banjo. To the right two male figures play native drums. Behind the figures is dense foliage and blue sky. The images in the work are stylized.On View
