GÉRARD FORTUNÉ — WOMEN IN AN ORCHARD
Original Oil on Canvas | Signed Haitian Folk Art | Framed
Nocturnal Fine Art presents Women in an Orchard, a colorful original oil painting on canvas attributed to Haitian artist Gérard Fortuné (1924–2019).
The composition depicts two women walking through a lush, fruit-laden orchard. Dressed in vibrant patterned garments, each balances a large fruit or vessel on her head.
A brilliant yellow sky and densely layered foliage create an energetic backdrop, while expressive passages of red, blue-green, ochre, and cream bring warmth and movement to the scene.
The figures and richly patterned environment reflect the distinctive naïve and folk-art style associated with Haitian painting.
The artwork bears a red signature in the lower-right corner appearing to read \"Fortuné.\"
The painting is presented in a wood-toned frame.
