The thatched-roof houses and the woman carrying a basket on her head suggest a traditional way of life. The presence of people and animals adds a sense of daily activity and community.

5. Original Artist: While this is an original work by Mehrdad Fahimi (as evidenced by the signature in the bottom left), the style and subject matter show influences from various sources. The use of warm colors and the depiction of rural African life are reminiscent of some works by South African artist Gregoire Boonzaier. However, Fahimi's unique style is evident in the loose, expressive brushwork and the delicate balance of detail and suggestion. This painting showcases Fahimi's skill in capturing the essence of a place and its people through careful composition and a nuanced use of color and light.
