This atmospheric village scene by Haitian artist Harry Jacques depicts children gathered around miniature houses illuminated against a dark landscape. Painted in encaustic on canvas around 1980, the composition creates a dramatic contrast between glowing structures and the surrounding night environment. In the foreground, small houses with brightly lit windows form a playful village arrangement as children stand nearby, suggesting imagination and storytelling within the scene. Beyond them, circular pools of water and village buildings extend into the distance, where a church rises prominently as the architectural focal point.
