Elephant Mother & Calf
Description
In Elephant Mother and Calf the animals are placed alone against a plain white background, emphasizing the bond between mother and baby. The elephants are depicted from behind and are trailed by little black birds called piapiacs, which look for insects that are disturbed by the large animal’s movement.
Young elephants are very entertaining to watch and the artist has subtly suggested the playful mood of this little baby; with its ears spread wide open, tail swishing to the side and its foot mid air, it looks as though it's preparing to mock charge the birds. Captured in black and white; this is a warming and unique art piece, simplistic in form, composition and tone, yet deep in emotive substance.
This is an Open Edition Fine Art Print of the original charcoal drawing and part of the Wildlife of Africa Collection.
