Description
Haitian artist Gerard Fortune has created this striking Vodou naïf scene depicting Baron Samedi, signed in the lower left. Measuring 20 x 30 inches, the painting presents the iconic spirit with vivid color, symbolic detail, and a commanding presence that makes the work both visually powerful and highly collectible. Fortune’s narrative clarity and spirited composition give this piece strong decorative impact while remaining rooted in authentic Haitian Vodou imagery. The artwork is in excellent condition and is sold unframed. This artwork comes from a private collection in Virginia, USA, and will be shipped directly from that collection. A Certificate of Authenticity will be issued by Myriam Nader Haitian Art Gallery upon purchase.
