Sekoto, Gerard
Lady in Red

In this portrait, Sekoto depicts a woman in a bright red garment and contrasting blue headscarf. Her steady gaze and simplified setting focus attention on the figure’s quiet presence, while the strong colour contrast and formal restraint give the work the clarity and dignity that mark many of his portraits.
