Oil on burlap in very good condition (not restored), 72 x 56 cm.
Signature « François Hippolyte » in the back, without date or title.
Private collection of Mr. and Mrs. Vioje Tendo (Ohio, USA).
In a very minimalist style, we can recognize two marae with oblique perspectives reminding the architecture in Japanese prints, like in the examples below. It is all covered in thick painting with vertical and horizontal dabs.
