You are buying the original signed painting, not a print, and there is one. Photo 1 shows the whole painting; photos 2 and 3 are close details of the pot and her head, and of the signature. 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.
Fetching water is often the first task of the day in a village, and in much of Africa it falls to women and girls, who carry the pot balanced on the head on the walk back from the river or the well. The artist turns that everyday errand into the subject, with the glance over her shoulder catching the hurry of the morning.

An original sepia painting of an African woman carrying a water pot on her head. The artist shows her on the way back from the river with water for her family, glancing over her shoulder as she hurries home to the morning's chores. She wears everyday village clothes, a close fitting blouse and skirt, a head wrap and a bracelet, drawn in a few dark, confident lines over washes and stains of rust, amber and soft grey, with fine diagonal scratches running through the whole surface. The artist lists the medium as brown aciduro watercolour washes with touches of grey acrylic on canvas, which gives the piece its single warm tone and its sense of a busy morning in motion. At 7 by 10 inches it suits a desk, a shelf or a gallery wall of small pieces, and its neutral browns sit easily with most rooms. If you want the same subject on a much larger scale, the shop's African Woman with Pot is the big sepia version. It is one of a kind, not a print, signed LEXIS 2018 in the lower left corner. Painted by hand in Ghana. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from damp.
