The artwork, created by Fortune Louis Meaulle, beautifully captures the essence of this historical event. Chedingen's regal presence is evident as he stands tall and proud in his traditional African attire. Dressed in a magnificent headdress and ornate costume, Chedingen exudes power and authority.
