South African artist David Allen captures the look and feel of Cape Town's old District Six suburb in this vividly painted street scene. Renowned for his works in this ouvre, he uses classical perspective techniques with obvious ease to draw the eye towards the ever-present Table Mountain, while reminding us of the vibrant community that once thrived on its slopes so long ago.
