Village at Lake Atitlan, Guatemala
Oil on panel, 17 x 25 cm, anonymous, 20th century
Private collection
 

Set beside Lake Atitlán, a volcanic lake in the Sierra Madre mountain range, a village appears with red-roofed houses and a smooth expanse of water that reflects the sky and surrounding peaks. Bold colours and simplified forms shape the scene, while figures in traditional dress bring a sense of daily life to the setting.
