Antoine Obin (1929-1992) 20"x24" Street Scene c1980 Oil on Masonite Painting #3YN
Village Morning in Cap-Haïtien depicts the quiet rhythm of Haitian daily life through Antoine Obin’s signature clarity and compositional harmony. Set before a row of pastel-colored houses with shuttered windows and tin roofs, villagers go about their morning routines—women balancing baskets, a child riding a donkey, and neighbors exchanging glances in the sunlit square. Every figure and structure is rendered with geometric precision and luminous simplicity, reflecting the artist’s mastery of balance and perspective. A leading painter of the Cap-Haïtien School and son of the legendary Philomé Obin, Antoine Obin carried forward his family’s legacy with scenes that celebrate dignity, community, and Haitian identity. His works remain enduring testaments to the elegance and humanity of everyday life in Haiti’s northern townscapes. It is in good condition and belongs to a private collector in the Dominican Republic, who will ship it. Our gallery will issue a certificate of authenticity upon
