Description from the seller

Description:

Oil painting in a figurative style depicting a lively daily life scene at the heart of a traditional African village, bordered by lush tropical vegetation and palm trees.

Subject and composition:

The work features women figures and children bustling around traditional thatched-roof huts. One can observe women carrying loads on their heads and the villagers’ daily tasks. The color palette combines natural ochre, green, and earth tones, highlighted by vibrant clothing touches (red, blue).

Technique and signature:

Painting characterized by generous brushwork and a knife, adding body and relief (notably in the foliage and the sky). Work signed at the bottom left "DOM".

Support and frame:

Oil on canvas presented in its brown-toned wooden frame with a gilded stretcher/bead, perfectly matching the composition.

Characteristics:

Technique: Oil on canvas
Subject: Genre scene / Traditional African village
Signature: Signed at the bottom left "DOM"
Framing: Original wooden frame included
Condition: Very good overall state of conservation, well-stretched canvas and rich textures
