Description
Description
In Au Cap-Haïtien, Antoine Obin captures a serene moment in the historic northern city through the refined order and balanced geometry characteristic of the Cap-Haïtien School. The pastel facades, shuttered colonial buildings, and distant hills set the stage for a calm street scene where townspeople walk, converse, and go about their day beneath the Caribbean sun. Obin’s meticulous attention to architecture, proportion, and color harmony gives the work a timeless quality. His scenes of Cap-Haïtien life reflect the artist’s deep affection for his community and his mastery of the distinctive linear style pioneered by his father, Philomé Obin. Antoine’s paintings continue to embody the dignity, simplicity, and warmth of Haitian daily life. 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.
