D’orcino Toussaint Haitian Landscape Painting

This item is an original oil painting by the Haitian artist D’orcino Toussaint, a notable figure in the mid-to-late 20th-century Haitian art movement. The work features a stylized landscape with a horse and foal in the foreground, set against a backdrop of a rural village with figures and small structures. The composition utilizes a distinct palette of muted blues, greens, and ochres, characteristic of Toussaint’s dreamlike, atmospheric style. The execution shows textured brushwork and fine linework that suggest a folk-art influence with sophisticated color layering. The piece is signed 'D. Toussaint' in red in the lower right corner. It is housed in an ornate, gold-finished wooden frame with a linen inner liner, typical of the 1960s or 1970s gallery presentations. The frame shows some minor surface wear and aging to the linen liner, while the painting surface appears to have a fine craquelure consistent with age, though it remains stable. The overall craftsmanship reflects the vibrant cultural aesthetic of Haitian painting, emphasizing narrative and natural beauty.
