About Ben Enwonwu Princess Sefi
Enwonwu painted this portrait of Princess Judith Safinat "Sefi" Atta, a work full of vigour and pulsating with cultural pride. Enwonwu appears to have taken some artistic license in adding the distinctive short tribal marks of the Ebira on each cheek. The artist employs a plethora of European painting techniques that elevate the sitter and give the work a universal appeal. There is no doubt that Sefi is one of Enwonwu’s most distinguished work of the 1950s, a regal and dignified portrait of a young woman which captures Nigeria’s spirit of the time amidst an exhilarating cultural revival.
