Renowned Haitian artist Préfète Duffaut, known for his exceptional work, has signed this exquisite and unique hand-painted wooden shoe shine box. This piece, measuring 10 3/4 x 7 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches, is a departure from Duffaut's usual subject matter, making it a rare and significant addition to his work. Georges S. Nader had the original idea to commission this unique hand-painted wooden shoe shine box, adding a personal touch to his private collection.

Préfète Duffaut is a contemporary artist who creates mystical and detailed work, often devoted to a pantheon of Vodou spirits, which are widely exhibited and collected by many collectors and museums around the world, namely the Musee d'Art Nader and the Musee d'Art Haitien in both in Haiti, the Figge Art Museum in Davenport, Iowa, the Waterloo Museum of Art in Waterloo, Iowa, the New Orleans Museum of Art in New Orleans, Louisiana, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Milwaukee Art Museum in Milwaukee. 

A master of a famous painting in the 1940s, Duffaut explicitly depicts urban life in a fantastical style.
