    I bought this in a online auction (Maxsold) of a house in Coral Gables (a very nice suburb of Miami) - I didn't see any autograph on it in the pictures but thought that was just because of their size.
    But when I won it & picked it up I saw it didn't have a signature!
    Also it's on a unusual board (last photo behind cardboard backing).
    Any thoughts on it? Any way to find out who the artist is?
    I like Haitian art & I have a few by well known artists (including a Jacques-Enguerrand Gourgue you guys helped identify for me - and I just sold on eBay Sunday) & I like this one; it isn't factory art, right?
    Thanks all.

    Not sure what's going on with all those pieces in the back.
    Yes, it looks factory art to me.. Please wait to see what Debora and others may say.

    It does look decorative to my eye but... I'm not knowledgable about Haitian art. Think I read a new member collects in that area; perhaps she'll see and weigh in.

    The thing that looks the weird to me, is all'a that thin masonite across the back - is that hiding something? Suggest you check behind it.

    I collect haitian art. This piece is a commercial painting made for tourists. You can easily find identical copies of this one around every Haiti's resort.
