Pintades (Guinea Fowl), c.1950

Oil on masonite, H x W: 125 x 247 cm (49 3/16 x 97 1/4 in.)

“This painting exemplifies the hightly decorative, rich compositions of Pilipili and his frequent collaborator Ilunga. As key figures in the Lubumbashi painting school, founded by Pierre Romain Desfosses, they became prolific chroniclers of the flora and fauna of the Congo region.”
