      <image:caption>"Portrait of Cynthia Dumani Stradtmann" - 2025. Oil on linen - 18 in (45cm) x 14 in (35cm) - Alternate Magistrate of the Third Division of the Supreme Court of Justice. The portrait of Alternate Magistrate Dumani offers an elegant rendering of her at a younger age. Throughout the history of portraiture, artists have captured not only a person's appearance at a given moment, but also how they wish to be remembered: at their most vibrant, determined, or full of promise.</image:caption>
