Folk Art Painting of a Haitian Marketplace Scene

This item is a vibrant, figurative folk art painting depicting a central group of figures at an outdoor market. The composition features six individuals, primarily women in colorful West African/Caribbean-inspired dress and headwraps, engaged in selling and sorting various fruits and vegetables. The artwork is characterized by bold, saturated colors spanning a gradient sky from deep blue to pink, and a landscape with stylized green foliage and a single slim tree on the left. The figures are rendered in a charmingly naive, flat style with exaggerated proportions typical of Haitian or Caribbean folk traditions. Notable details include the woven baskets filled with produce and a woman carrying a bowl atop her head. The painting is signed in the lower right corner, appearing to read 'Bredy' or a similar derivative, often associated with regional artisan markets. The piece is housed in a contemporary, silver-toned frame with an ornate, textured 'python-skin' or pebbled pattern, suggesting a late 20th to early 21st-century production. The condition appears excellent with no visible craquelure, fading, or moisture damage, indicating it has been well-maintained indoors. The medium appears to be acrylic or oil on canvas or board, displaying a smooth finish without heavy impasto.
