About the artwork

The picture shows the impressive patriarch of a herd of desert elephants in the fascinating landscape of Damaraland. The imposing elephant stands calmly and majestically in the midst of his herd, surrounded by dry, rocky hills and scattered acacia trees.

The patriarch stands out from the herd with his massive stature and imposing tusks. His striking features, such as his wrinkled skin and dark eyes, bear witness to his advanced age and experience in the wild environment of Damaraland.

The other members of the elephant herd are grouped around the patriarch, with young animals standing next to their mothers and protecting each other. The scene exudes an atmosphere of community and cohesion as the elephants stay close together to protect themselves from the challenges of the arid landscape.

The landscape of Damaraland is characterised by barren, rocky formations and dry riverbeds bathed in sunlight. The gentle contours of the hills and mountains stretch out in the background of the picture, lending the landscape a majestic and rugged beauty.

The warm colours of the sunset bathe the scene in a golden light that emphasises the majesty of the elephants and the beauty of their surroundings. The sky takes on the colours of evening red as the sun slowly sinks behind the distant hills.

Overall, the image is an impressive depiction of the life of the desert elephants in Damaraland, captured in a scene of wild beauty and natural grace.
