A visually arresting and exceptionally large hand-crafted folk-art textile depicting an idyllic rural village alive with farmers, horseback riders, livestock, poultry, cultivated fields, flowering trees, and brightly painted homes scattered across a mountainous landscape. Executed in brilliantly colored fabric appliqué with extensive hand embroidery, the composition is constructed from hundreds of individually cut and stitched textile elements arranged in a dynamic narrative design.

The work is signed within the composition “Taller Santa Rosa” and “Berenice Morales,” identifying both the artisan workshop and maker. Particularly striking is the bold yellow ground, dramatic black roadways dividing the landscape, and the exuberant use of patterned fabrics for the villagers’ clothing. Chickens gather around a central farmyard, riders travel winding paths on horseback, and stylized trees burst with vibrant foliage, creating a scene filled with movement, charm, and celebration of everyday village life.

The graphic quality of the design, combined with its joyful storytelling and sophisticated color relationships, gives the work remarkable presence, reading almost as a modernist painting from across the room while rewarding close inspection with intricate handwork and embroidered detail.

Retaining its period brushed aluminum gallery frame, this outstanding textile embodies the finest qualities sought by collectors of Latin American folk art: authenticity, narrative richness, vibrant color, and extraordinary decorative impact.

A museum-worthy example of mid-century folk textile art with exceptional wall presence.

Condition: Very good vintage condition with expected minor age-related wear. Housed in its likely original period aluminum frame.
