Artwork Description

Pastel on paper

Signed on the front.

In the Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania, an old elephant bull gets a meal under the shade of a Yellow Acacia, formerly known by some in the 19th century, as fever trees. They mistakenly believed malaria was caused by the tree, but it was the mosquitoes that bred in the swampy areas where the trees grew that were the real culprits.
