Haitian Naive Art Cotton Harvest Painting

This is a vibrant primitive or naive style oil or acrylic painting on canvas, characteristic of traditional Haitian folk art. The composition depicts a labor-intensive cotton harvest, featuring numerous female figures dressed in bright primary colors like blue, red, pink, and yellow. Many figures are seen stooping to pick cotton gems, while others balance large woven baskets overflowing with white cotton tufts on their heads. The use of flat perspective and bold, saturated colors is a hallmark of this genre. The landscape includes stylized green and reddish-pink trees, distant blue mountains, and a soft pink-to-blue gradient sky filled with small soaring birds. The craftsmanship shows intricate repetition in the white cotton buds and the woven pattern of the baskets. While no signature is immediately visible in this low-resolution image, the style aligns with the mid-to-late 20th-century Haitian school of art. The condition appears fair, with consistent color throughout, though some minor edge wear or surface dust may be present due to age. The physical dimensions cannot be determined from the image alone, but it appears to be a medium-format rectangular work with a high level of decorative detail and cultural storytelling.
