Description
Ibrahim Abu Bakar or better known as A.B. Ibrahim was a prodigious self-taught watercolour artist who used simple strokes. Because of this, fakes of his works surfaced from the 1970s although this work was sourced directly from the family by a private collector in Penang. This work with fine outlines is typical of the artist’s style and his favourite subject of seaside kampung vistas.
