A Congolese woman stands in profile behind the sharp, rhythmic vertical lines of a bamboo enclosure. Her form is a solid dark silhouette against a vibrant, sunset-orange sky. Overlapping her silhouette is the long, geometric shadow of a colonial sentry holding a rifle, cast from outside the frame. In her hand, she holds a small, hand-woven basket"empty. The style uses flat colors, negative space, and a grain texture to suggest a vintage historical poster. Colors: Deep indigo, ochre, and charcoal
