Le Bourgeois
"Le Bourgeois" by Haitian artist Pierre-Louis Riché is a vibrant painting showcasing his "Boterismo" style. It depicts four plump individuals dressed in 19th or early 20th-century bourgeois attire. The central figure, a woman in a detailed gray dress, holds a white parasol.

Riché's exaggerated volumes and rich colors create a humorous and satirical portrayal of the bourgeoisie.
"Le Bourgeois" is a vibrant and detailed painting by Haitian artist Pierre-Louis Riché, exemplifying his unique "Boterismo" style. The artwork features a group of four individuals dressed in late 19th or early 20th-century bourgeois attire, standing on a cobblestone street against a backdrop of colorful, European-style houses.
In the foreground, a plump woman in a light gray, intricately patterned dress holds a white parasol, her expression calm and dignified. She is flanked by two rotund men in blue jackets with gold buttons, one sporting a cane and a mischievous grin while glancing sideways. The third figure, a man in a green coat, stands slightly behind the woman, completing the group.
Riché's signature exaggerated volume is evident in the rounded, ample forms of the figures, conveying a sense of humor and satire. The rich colors and delicate execution of details, from the textures of the clothing to the expressions on the faces, highlight Riché's masterful technique and ability to infuse his art with both critique and charm.
