An Ethiopian Gentleman, Attributed to Emile Deckers
“A possible identification has been suggested by Prof. Dr. Alessandro
Bausi of the Asia-Africa Institute, University of Hamburg that the
sitter is Agäññähu Ǝngǝda (possible simplified transcription, Agegnehu
Engeda), ca. 1902/1903-1947, who was an important Ethiopian painter,
probably the most important of the first half of the 20th century. He
was acquainted with Europe and with the contemporary style, having
studied in Paris in 1927-1930.” Bonhams
