Large antique Orientalist oil painting by Heywood Hardy
British, c. 1900
Canvas: Height 79cm, width 104cm
Frame: Height 105cm, width 129cm, depth 7cm
This remarkable oil painting by British artist Heywood Hardy (1842–1933) depicts a vibrant scene from a North African town.
The painting immerses the viewer in a lively street scene, where figures dressed in traditional garments are brought close to the foreground. Dominated by shades of blue and white, their attire is punctuated with striking pops of colour, like the yellow detailing on the donkeys' halters. In the distance, a camel rider moves through the crowd, further adding to the dynamic atmosphere.
The backdrop features soft pastel tones that highlight Middle Eastern architecture, palm trees, and distant hills. Above, the expanse of a pastel blue sky contrasts beautifully with the bustling scene below.
Signed in the lower right corner by the artist, this work is framed in an intricately carved giltwood frame.
Its sizable proportions make it an ideal focal point for any room, particularly as a centrepiece above a mantelpiece.

Heywood Hardy
Heywood Hardy was born in Chichester, Sussex, the youngest of 10 children of the artist James Hardy senior (1801–1879) and his wife Elizabeth. His first two paintings, landscapes, were accepted for exhibition at The Royal Academy in 1864. In the same year he was appointed an Ensign in the 7th Somersetshire Rifle Volunteer Corps, a part-time position. Later that year he left Keynsham to study at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris where his principal teacher was Isidore Pils. Hardy spent much of his spare time copying paintings in the Louvre. Hardy visited Egypt in 1873 to paint wildlife. In London he studied the comparative anatomy of animals and birds with Professor Alfred Henry Garrod. Heywood Hardy was a founder member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, a founder member of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers, a member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters and an Associate of the Royal Watercolour Society.
