Description
A quiet, contemplative portrait by Haitian artist Jean-René Jérôme, painted in 1983. A woman with closed eyes and softly parted lips rests beneath a sweeping wide-brimmed hat, her face lit in glowing ochre and gold against deep umber and rust. The richly mottled, weathered surface gives the work an aged, almost fresco-like depth, while a small luminous sphere in the lower left adds a note of mystery and balance. Signed and dated “Jn-René Jérôme ‘83” in the lower right, the painting comes from a private collection in New York. Its warm, earthy palette and dreamlike mood make it a distinctive example of Haitian figurative painting from the early 1980s. Condition is good, consistent with its age. A certificate of authenticity is included.
About this artist
About this artist
Jean-René Jérôme (Haitian, 1942–1991) was one of Haiti’s most celebrated modern artists and a key figure in the School of Beauty. Known for his exploration of the human form, his art reflects harmony, sensuality, and inner strength. Trained at the School of Fine Arts, he worked across multiple disciplines including drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, dance, theater, and voice. He exhibited internationally in Latin America, Brazil, Canada, Senegal, and Martinique, gaining recognition for his expressive use of color and emotion. His works are featured in major private and institutional collections, including a permanent exhibition at Musée d’Art Nader in Port-au-Prince. As noted by art historian Gérald Alexis in Peintres Haïtiens (Éditions Cercle d’Art, 2000), “Jérôme’s education led him to prefer form over content.” His philosophy and focus on the beauty of the female figure continue to inspire collectors and art lovers worldwide.
