Description

This refined oil on board painting by Michel M. Obin, titled The Ball of the Generals, portrays an elegant evening dance staged within a grand interior illuminated by soft candlelight and framed by richly colored drapery. A live ensemble performs at the left—complete with brass, strings, and keyboard—while couples in formal attire move across a patterned floor in an atmosphere of ceremony and social pageantry. Obin’s distinctive narrative precision captures the choreography of the gathering through balanced groupings, controlled perspective, and a harmonious palette of mint greens, rose tones, and warm blues. The painting offers a rare, theatrical glimpse into Haiti’s historical elite traditions, where music, uniform, and ritualized celebration converge. The artwork includes full provenance, and a Certificate of Authenticity will be issued by Myriam Nader Haitian Art Gallery upon purchase.
