This compelling oil on canvas by South African artist Mandla Manana depicts a vibrant and crowded scene inside a shebeen. The work powerfully captures a social gathering while subtly addressing themes of gender roles and domesticity, as indicated by the extended title on the reverse. Manana, known for his social commentary, likely created this piece during the late 1990s, a period of continued post-apartheid transformation in South Africa. The provenance, title, and year are inscribed directly onto the back of the frame, providing valuable context. Dimensions: 72.5cm l x 62.5cm h

Overall good condition. Minor age-appropriate craquelure and light surface scratches in the dark pigments, with no visible paint loss.
