Description
Khalil Ibrahim was skilled in painting the human figure, and this composition shows a unique configuration of postures, gestures and stances. His most well-loved themes are the people of the East Coast in the fishing village, or shore. His watercolours are just as delightful and detailed as his full-blown paintings, exhibiting a fascination for the human figures.
