About the Item
Orientalist Watercolour Painting of a Man Riding a Camel by Alphons Leopold Mielich
Austrian, late 19th Century
Frame: Height 46cm, width 41cm, depth 4cm
Sheet: Height 25cm, width 20cm
Depicting an Arab man riding a camel through the desert, this watercolour painting is a fine example of late 19th century Orientalism. In the distant background, there are other figures portrayed sitting down, with an oasis of trees lining the horizon. This line strikingly breaks up the painting into halves: the pale blue sky is beautifully contrasted with the dusty sand.
The present work was painted by celebrated Austrian artist Alphons Leopold Mielich (1863-1929). After leaving the Austrian Army in 1887 due to ill health, Mielich travelled extensively to the Middle East to convalesce, which inspired his Orientalist paintings such as this one.
The sheet is signed 'A.L. Mielich' to the lower left, and is held in a giltwood frame.

Large Watercolour Painting Depicting Turkish Scholars by A. Rosati
Located in London, GB
Large watercolour painting depicting Turkish scholars by A. Rosati
Italian, Early 20th Century
Panel: Height 36cm, width 52cm
Frame: Height 72cm, width 89cm, depth 4.5cm
This sensational watercolour painting depicts two Turkish scholars, who recline in a typical Orientalist interior as they study and discuss the Quran. The figures are beautifully rendered in a sketched, painterly style that harks back to Impressionism, dressed in bright Orientalist robes with ornate detailing. The two men are imbued with contrasting characters, the left-hand figure engaged and leaning forward in discussion, whilst the right reclines in thought.
Their setting is marked with Orientalist signifiers, such as the incense lamp and palm plant in the top right-hand corner. Particularly fine detail has been given to the Persian-style rug, which catches the viewer’s eye with its vibrant hues and repeating geometric motif border. Further geometric designs can be seen on the back wall, which utilises circular and zig-zag mosaic patterning. These motifs are replicated in the beautiful frame. A later addition, the frame complements not only the colour palette of the painting with a bright red base, but also the intricate motifs of the painting with gilt foliate decoration.
The painting is by the Italian artist Alberto Rosati...
