You are buying the original signed painting, not a print, and there is one. Photo 2 shows it on its stretcher frame, but the shop ships its canvases rolled in a tube, so message the seller before ordering if you need it to arrive ready to hang. It ships unframed. Colours can look slightly different on screen.
The smock, called fugu or batakari, is the garment of northern Ghana sewn from strips of hand woven cloth, worn for festivals, celebrations and dance, where a turning dancer sets it flaring. The artist paints a smock dancer in the middle of a victory dance, in a single warm tone that keeps the joy of it close.

An original painting on canvas of a smock dancer from northern Ghana. The dancer is drawn in a few dark lines over washes and spatters of warm brown, the smock flaring out behind as the dancer turns, a wide brimmed hat on top and a round shaker raised in one hand. The artist lists the medium as aciduro, a local watercolour pigment, which gives the piece its single warm tone, closer to an ink drawing than to the bright acrylics elsewhere in the shop. The artist paints it as a victory dance: joy, confidence and the certainty of coming through hard times. At 7 by 10 inches it suits a desk, a shelf or a gallery wall of small pieces. It is one of a kind, not a print, signed Lexis in the lower right corner. Painted by hand in Ghana. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from damp.
