This original vintage oil painting on masonite board is by acclaimed Haitian artist Seymour Etienne Bottex, hand-signed and localized “S.E. Bottex Cap-Haïtien” on the lower front.
An exceptional, authentic mid-century example of Caribbean Naïve art by listed master painter S.E. Bottex. This depicts a marketplace interaction—highlighting a figure offering a freshly caught fish over an open storage gourd.
The artwork is executed on a textured “waffle-back” hardboard typical of mid-century Haitian studio productions. The reverse side features the historical gallery/estate cataloging number “8-116-3″ in vintage marker. Housed in its original mid-century floating liner wooden frame showing stable, age-appropriate oxidation and minor paint flaking along the edges. Please review all macro photos to appreciate the unique tool marks and aging.
Measures 11″ x 9″ x 1 1/4”. Weight is 1 pound 3 oz. Good vintage condition.
Please check pictures for description and condition.
