The painting 'Two Peacocks' by Rajabu Chiwaya is a representative example of Tingatinga folk modernism from 1970s Tanzania. Executed in oil on board, the work measures 61 × 61 cm.

On the left side, a subtle, almost misty tree in pale gray-green adds depth and contrast. The background is matte, pure white, highlighting the clarity of the forms and the saturation of the colors. The painting's surface is smooth and even, showing no signs of wear, damage or restoration. The condition is excellent. This work carries the voice of East African modernity from the
