Ndebele Woman Wallpaper - Tretchikoff

Ndebele Woman is a striking portrayal of the dignified elegance of an Ndebele woman, brought to life through Tretchikoff’s distinctive mix of realism and abstraction. Her brightly decorated attire, characteristic of the Ndebele culture, creates a striking contrast to her calm and serene expression. Tretchikoff’s masterful interplay of light and colour draws attention to her strong features, highlighting her resilience and inner strength.
