One of the few black women painting and exhibiting in South Africa in the 1960s, Mgudlandlu was largely self-taught. In this piece, kneeling figures are rendered with simplicity and quiet focus, while the work’s devotional mood reflects her enduring interest in children, spirituality and the dignified texture of everyday life.
