The Saxophonist Rests is a companion piece to the celebrated Melodies in Transit series, finding the musician not in performance but in the silence between. A female figure sits in left profile against a deep midnight blue frame, saxophone held loosely at her side with its bell resting on the floor, head bowed in genuine rest. Her Ankara dress blazes against the dark background. From the bell of the resting instrument, one thin thread of gold smoke rises, the last note still leaving, still going somewhere even after the playing has stopped. This atmospheric mixed media fine art print is Giclée printed on museum quality 310gsm Textured Fine Art Cotton Rag, one of only 20 prints produced worldwide. A deeply considered Nigerian painting and a standout piece of home decor for music lovers and fine art collectors alike.
