Pooled in dense, rounded strokes, this plump grey form sits with a quiet, almost comic solemnity. Precious Okafor clusters teal, violet and forest green ovoid shapes against the bird's flank - jewel-bright against the flat pewter body - suggesting a clutch of eggs or perhaps something more interior, an abundance carried close. The yellow beak, lightly smiling, gives the whole composition an unexpectedly tender warmth.
