A woman sits with woven palm strands gathered across her lap, her hands mid-motion, rendered almost entirely in tones of grey and black against a ground of warm gold. Al Khoos gives its full attention to the craft of basket weaving, once essential to daily Emirati life and now held here in a monochrome palette that lends it a certain quiet solemnity. It is the second work in this art gallery website's Echoes of Heritage series, continuing its study of women's handwork.
Painted in oil on canvas in near-monochrome with gold accents, the work sets fine detail in the hands and weave against a flat, luminous background.
The canvas measures 18 x 24 inches, matching the scale of its companion pieces in the series.
Signed by the artist and issued with a Certificate of Authenticity, it is a one-of-a-kind piece, finished to a standard reflected in typical oil painting commission prices for comparable figure work.
Al Khoos holds a craft once essential to daily life in a register usually reserved for portraiture, giving it the same quiet dignity. It sits within MB Gallery's Echoes of Heritage collection, where portrait commission prices follow a similar standard of detail.
