Village Landscape Folk Art Painting in Distressed Wood Frame

This is a small-format, vibrant folk art painting depicting a tropical or Caribbean village scene. The artwork features a group of stylized figures engaged in daily activity outside thatched-roof huts, set against a background of lush foliage, palm trees, and coastal hills reminiscent of Pitons or similar volcanic topography. The palette is rich with primary and secondary colors, including deep greens, bright yellows, and coral pinks. The style is characteristic of 'Naïve art' or Haitian/Latin American folk traditions, prioritizing storytelling and bold color over realistic perspective. The painting is housed in a wide, beveled wooden frame finished in a distressed seafoam green paint with visible white undertones and artificial scuffing. The frame appears to be mass-produced contemporary construction intended to look rustic. The visible condition of the artwork seems good, with colors remaining saturated. The frame shows intentional distressing but also has some genuine wear on the outer corners. No signature or maker's marks are visible on the front face of the piece. Given the materials and framing style, this piece likely dates from the late 20th century to early 21st century and was likely produced as a souvenir or decorative home accessory.
