TREASURE CHEST: "COSTA RICA" - Vintage Matted Costa Rica Folk Art Painting on Feather signed by Artist in Rustic Wood Frame
Excellent Condition. Measures 4 inches wide x 6 inches top to bottom. Can be placed on a plate or art piece holder, or has a string on the back to hang on the wall with a nail. You can also just prop on a bookcase shelf.
This framed artwork features a meticulous example of traditional feather painting, a delicate folk-art form common across several Latin American regions. The central focal point is a single, upright natural bird feather mounted onto a white rectangular backing card. Hand-painted directly onto the surface of the barbs is a colorful miniature scene depicting two macaws perched among stylized foliage, executed with fine, precise brushstrokes to prevent the feather's fibers from separating.
The composition is framed by a double-matting presentation that enhances its vintage, hand-crafted aesthetic. The white card holding the feather sits atop a larger, textured light-green mat-board, creating a soft color contrast that complements the natural theme. Below the feather artwork, the white card features elegant cursive handwriting, including what appears to be the location of “Costa Rica” on the left and a stylized artist's monogram signature or initials on the right.
The entire piece is housed within a polished rectangular wooden frame featuring a rich, dark brown finish and distinct wood grain patterns. The frame is constructed with classic mitered corners and a raised inner lip that secures the glass cover. The entire framed ensemble is photographed resting flat against a smooth, textured reddish-brown leather or vinyl surface, which provides a warm background contrast to the green matting.
