"Mini Marley" is a 2020 portrait painting by Nigerian artist Monica Ikegwu. The painting features a young Black girl with long dark hair standing against a bright pink background covered in red polka dots. The girl is wearing a pink polka dot shirt under a fuzzy pink coat with white beads adorning the edges. Ikegwu is known for her realistic portraiture, often depicting Black subjects. This portrait is a testament to the artist's skill, capturing the girl’s expression with such detail and vibrancy.
