Additional Information

This painting is part of Himid’s Le Rodeur series of paintings, inspired by the traumatic events of the French slave ship of the same name in 1819. In the series, Himid does not try to accurately depict the action of what happened, but instead interprets the emotions appertaining to various parts of the story, and the sense of painful injustice and inequality are threaded throughout.
