This is an ink drawing of a Nandi warrior. Ray Nestor did this style of art of the Nandi people of Kenya about 100 years ago in Kenya. Ray was a soldier in the First World War and then he went back to farming in Kenya. He did a fair amount of art while in Kenya. I think his handling of his ink drawings of the Nadi are among his best and I have tried to emulate it here. Some Kenyans still will dress this way on the special occasions in life.
