This piece represents the characteristic shyness of the village folk in Ghana. The gentle twist
of her head dropping on her right shoulder, her sleepy eyes and her attempt to cover herself with her arms are
meant to accentuate the pattern of her shyness. This is in contrast with women of the Western World who believe in
exhibitionism and practice it.
