As a pair to the iconic and poignant ‘Hand of Africa’, in this piece, ‘Impressions of Africa’, the imprints of the hands of children affected by HIV surround that of Nelson Mandela’s left hand. This significant work signals one of Mr Mandela’s most favoured topics, children and the future. The colours are those of Africa, warm browns and rusts, reminiscent of arid landscapes. This work serves as a reminder to all of us about the importance of looking after the next generations. Every Nelson Mandela work sold by Belgravia Gallery has a signature verification by the eminent South African signature expert, Cecil Greenfield and a Certificate of Authenticity from the gallery.
