Description
Description
Street Scene in Cap-Haïtien captures the calm rhythm of daily life in northern Haiti through the distinctive precision and harmony of Antoine Obin’s brushwork. In this carefully composed painting, townspeople converse, stroll, and carry out everyday tasks before a row of brightly colored colonial-style houses beneath a clear Caribbean sky. The scene reflects the artist’s mastery of perspective, balance, and architectural detail—hallmarks of the famous Cap-Haïtien School founded by his father, Philomé Obin.
Antoine Obin is celebrated for his refined interpretations of Haitian life, characterized by luminous color, serenity, and order. His work preserves the legacy of the Obin family, whose art became synonymous with the visual history of Cap-Haïtien and the birth of modern Haitian painting. It is in good condition and belongs to a private collector in the Dominican Republic, from which it will be shipped. Our gallery will issue a certificate of authenticity upon purchase.

About this artist
Antoine was born in Cap Haitian in 1929 and died in 1992. He was from the workshop of Philome Obin. " Influenced by the strictness of his father, Philome Obin, Obin was nevertheless, able to emancipate himself from the representation of detail, " says Gerald Alexis in his book "Peintres Haitiens."
