Tourist Painting? Native/South American?

This may be a tourist painting, but I still liked it. I wanted to know if anyone knows where in the world this might be from. Perhaps a Native painting or somewhere in South America? I appreciate any information...

 

A member of Ecuador's Huaorani tribe, I'd think.

Mid-century Paraguay according to this.

Thanks a lot! That was quick...I had been looking for a few days.
I had read the artist's name wrong...

 

E. Závate. An unusual surname. According to the internet, found mainly in Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia within South America.

Apologies. It's E. Zárate. I read it wrong as well. And a Google Image search brings up these additional works by him.

I can't find anything else about him. But Paraguay does have a fine arts museum. If you want to contact them, you can find an email address here.

Thanks bunches!

 

I know how that feels!!

 

Paraguay was my initial thought.

 

Interesting. I never give Paraguay much thought.
