This exceptional sculpture by Ludovic Booz (1940–2015) showcases the refined craftsmanship and emotional depth that define his greatest works. Booz’s portrayals of market women (“marchandes”) are among the most admired expressions in Haitian sculpture—celebrated for their poise, movement, and beautifully balanced forms.

Large, well-preserved wood sculptures by Booz have become increasingly rare. Many examples already reside in museum collections or private estates, and economic conditions in Haiti during the latter years of his career significantly limited production. High-quality works such as this are now considered prime collector’s pieces, embodying both artistic mastery and cultural heritage.

This sculpture is more than an artwork—it is a museum-worthy representation of Haiti’s golden era of sculptural excellence and a testament to the mastery of one of its most celebrated artists.
