Falconer Portrait Hawk Shadow Market Lane

by Esther Watson

Wet cobblestones glisten under a clearing sky as a centered falconer stands in a narrow Mbuji-Mayi market lane. Soft north light illuminates the subject's weathered face, where a sharp hawk shadow falls across the forehead and eyes. The bird perches on a leather glove, its feathers detailed in earthy browns and grays. Behind the figure, colorful market stalls display woven baskets and produce, their fabrics damp from recent rain. The wet season air hangs heavy but still, reflected in the slick pavement. A droplet of water rests on the edge of the leather cuff, catching the pale afternoon glow.
