Featured in this lot is this Giclee on canvas called "Drought, Dust, and Danger;" published in November 1999 by artist Simon Combes born in 1940 and died in 2004. The artwork features a wonderfully and professionally crafted Giclee on canvas construction that shows a herd of water buffalo walking on a dusty trail in search for a water source through the tree line. The artist signature is in the bottom right hand corner and is numbered 68/75. Drought on the West African plains can make a typically aggressive animals an even greater threat. At
dawn one morning, these Cape buffalo suddenly thundered out of the sun and into the path of my
rover. It seems I'd made the error of being between them and their watering hole and they had no
intention of halting for me. Now, you don't want to take chances around Cape buffalo; even when one
is weak and wounded, it's been known to run off a bit, take a wide circle and then come out of an
ambush to charge you. So I threw my rover in reverse and backed up as if my life depended on it -
which it did." The condition of this of this Giclee on canvas is good with no obvious signs of damage and shows good overall condition. The measurements of this Giclee on canvas is 25" x 60".
