Antique Oil on Canvas Painting Showing Emotional Clown / Mime Masks by I. Weyts

About the Item

Marvellous and good size work of theater art. In the pre-television and pre-movie Arts and Crafts era much more was communicated via stage performers and via drawings and paintings. This naive style painting, in an artistic manner shows us some of the most recognizable of human emotions. Also because most people (circa 1900) could not yet read, clowns and mime players were some of the most important story tellers using body and facial expressions only. Most of them were so good at what they did that, even without words, everyone knew exactly what they were communicating. 'Floating in the air' and against the dark background these mime or clown masks come to life even more. With human emotions as the main topic, this work of art also makes a great talking piece and it will look marvelous in all kinds of interiors. It comes with a beautiful wooden frame and a stylish black velvet lining. Mind you, our price for this unique work of art from the Arts and Crafts era even includes perfect packing and worldwide delivery from our store to your door in just 4 days. Height x width x depth: 33.5 x 22.8x 1.57 inches. We have a passion for the unique, for quality, for artistic and meaningful and for craftsmanship of years gone by.

  • Antique Oil on Canvas Painting Arabic Male & Camel in Desert Protecting Spouse
    Located in Lisse, NL
    19th century, one of a kind, oil painting in a more modern, golden colored wooden frame. We know that in the 19th century many renowned European artists went on 'study trips' to all parts of the globe and many of them loved the totally different world they would find there. They were so inspired by what they witnessed in these totally different cultures that some of them created their best ever work in that period. This beautiful painting has a lot going for it and we especially love the colors and the lightness of this Arab or possibly North African composition. Besides that, this wonderful painting also tells a story. One of a traveling man having to protect his spous against, what look to be, two desert robbers on horses. You can imagine the fear that this would give a woman with a small child, being so far away from everything and literally in the middle of nowhere. Many of the details are incredibly well painted, but we particularly love the way the stunning camel is portrayed, but also the clothes of the people and the serene face of the small child are marvelous details to look at. Unfortunately we don't know who painted this work of beauty, but we would not be surprised if there are connoisseurs out there that do. One of the most difficult things in interior design, we feel, is decorating the walls. We are no specialist in selling antique paintings, but whenever we get a chance to purchase a beautiful hand-painted oil on canvas from the Victorian era then we always try to acquire it. Especially when the details and colors are as good and vibrant as in this 19th century painting. The fact that there is some type of 'action' going on too lifts it above the average. This Arab subject matter also is very rare and besides the folds in the painting (where the inner edges of the frame underneith are), this antique work of art truly is in superb condition and a gem to behold. To us, this is the perfect painting for an eclectic interior or for anyone with an Arab or Moroccan Style (inspired) interior. If you like the look and feel of this fine quality, antique Victorian era painting...
