Abstract painting of figures 

This abstract painting, by South African artist Walter Battiss, depicts a vibrant and crowded scene. The artist's signature style is evident in the bold colors, thick brushstrokes, and simplified forms that create a sense of movement and energy. Battiss, known for his interest in African culture and landscapes, often incorporated these themes into his works. This painting, with its lively depiction of figures, likely reflects a social scene or gathering, a common subject explored by Battiss throughout his career.
