Expressionist Painting of Women Crossing a River from Ghana, "Crossing River Orubor"

Expertly balancing baskets of goods and food atop their heads, two African women walk side-by-side and chat as they cross the Orubor river. Ghanaian artist Benjamin Sebi Amenortey paints this tranquil scene in a blend of expressionist and impressionist styles; saturated colors and shading characterize the women, as the river features a blend of colors.
