One of the best parts of doing this work over the course of years is that I keep find bigger, better, and higher resolution photographs of my all-time favorite works. This woman from Zanzibar (ostensibly) holding a pangolin has captured my imagination ever since I first laid eyes on a photo of a reproduction-of-a-reproduction; five days ago Sotheby’s posted this big, clear image. Check out the full painting + details here; they’ve also transcribed the inscription on the back of it. <3
