Description from the seller
Superb genre scene depicting the famous flower market of Antananarivo (Tananarive, Madagascar). Painted in 1986, this work stands out for its expressive and modern palette-knife technique: up close, the pictorial material offers a beautiful abstract and vibrant texture; from a distance, the scene reveals itself with great visual accuracy (parasols, warm-toned floral stalls, silhouettes).

Signature: Signed Benwali and dated 1986 at the bottom right
Era: 1986
Condition: Excellent condition. Canvas well stretched on its original stretcher.
Frame: Sold with its gilt period frame and a canvas mat, ready to hang.
