Vintage Tingatinga bird painting, oil on hardboard, Africa, Tanzania, in the style of Hashim Mruta, terns, nest, eggs, folk art, mid-century.

32 x 40 cm

The expressive red eyes, the clear contours, and the high-contrast coloring are reminiscent of works by the famous Tanzanian Tingatinga school, and in particular of bird motifs such as those known from artists associated with Hashim Mruta. However, a definitive attribution has not been established.

The picture has a special presence and is ideally suited as a collector's item of African art, as a mid-century wall decoration, or as a striking eye-catcher in modern, Scandinavian, or ethnically inspired interiors.
