Condition: Good with some surface loss due to abrasions Proveance: Private New York CollectorCatalog Notes: Vogel (1997: 26 and 28) notes: While the relative naturalism and consummate workmanship of Baule objects were praised at the outset, today these objects are appreciated for their subtle rhythms and a beauty that stops short of sweetness. To the Western eye, an essence of Baule style is a balanced asymmetry that enlivens while suggesting stability and calm. [...] To an art historian, the most consistent feature of Baule art, and one expressed across the wide variety of Baule object types, is a kind of peaceful containment. Faces tend to have downcast eyes and figures often hold their arms against the body, so that Westerners might feel that the mood of much classical Baule art is introspective. For a similar object see Sotheby's, New York, In Pursuit of Beauty: The Myron Kunin Collection of African Art, Novemember 11, 2014, lot 38.
