Barkley L. Hendricks Art Print/Painting

This is a rectangular framed figurative work of art, which appears to be either a high-quality print or a painting executed in a style consistent with the mid-to-late 20th-century African American figurative tradition, specifically reminiscent of Barkley L. Hendricks' 'White' series. The piece portrays five figures against a neutral, off-white background. Four men are dressed in crisp, structured white suits and hats (fedoras and a flat cap), while one woman stands in profile, depicted with rich, dark skin tones that provide a stark, high-contrast visual against the monochromatic white clothing of the other figures. The composition is a horizontally-oriented group portrait. The framing consists of a simple, thin white or light silver gallery-style frame that matches the minimalist aesthetic of the artwork itself. The size appears to be approximately 24x36 inches based on its relative scale to the bookshelves below. The condition looks excellent with no visible signs of foxing, warping, or moisture damage. The paint (if original) or ink application shows smooth tonal transitions, indicating professional-grade craftsmanship. The lighting in the image emphasizes the subtle shadows within the white fabric, demonstrating a refined use of value on a limited palette.
