The Partridge Dusty Feet
40" x 32"
Engraving inks and oils on hardboard

The partridge says that it is those who have been there (to search for food) that get their feet dusty.

This is a way of saying that one's hard work has borne fruits, and so it is an advice to people to work hard.

From African Proverbs, the moral value of Eve Proverbs. Duide to conduct, Vol II by. N.K. Dzobo.
