On his return to Nigeria in 1948, Enwonwu became Artist Adviser to the Federal Government. Among his many accolades, Enwonwu was awarded an MBE in 1955 by Queen Elizabeth II, and the following year he became the first African artist to receive a royal commission when Her Majesty sat for a large bronze sculpture, now at the entrance to the Parliament Buildings in Lagos. By 1982, when the present lot was painted, Enwonwu was internationally recognised as Nigeria's premier artist. A well-connected and ambitious artist, Enwonwu produced numerous portraits depicting various members of Nigeria's intelligentsia, including members of traditional royal courts. The present lot is an exceptional example of such work.
