You are buying the original signed painting, not a print, and there is one. Photo 2 is a close detail of the mother's head and photo 3 shows the artist painting it. The artist ships it rolled in a tube and unframed, so message the seller before ordering if you need it to arrive ready to hang. Colours can look slightly different on screen.
Across Ghana, as across much of Africa, a baby rides on its mother's back in a wrapped cloth, close enough to sleep and leaving her hands free for the day. The artist paints that everyday sight as a quiet celebration of motherhood, in a single warm tone that keeps the picture intimate.

An original sepia painting of a mother carrying her baby son on her back. The mother is drawn in profile in warm browns over washes and spatters of ochre and amber, her son wrapped to her back in a patterned cloth, his head resting against her shoulder. 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. For the artist the child is a symbol of hope, continuity and the future, and the mother is the protector carrying the next generation forward through the work of every day. The title says it plainly: a child is not simply someone a mother carries, but a blessing she protects and guides. 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.
