Renzo Daforno
Bedouin Woman Carrying Water in a Dessert Mountain Landscape

ca. 1930-40

About the Item

The painting in question depicts a Bedouin woman walking along a desert road with mountains in the background. She carries a water jug on her head. Signed Daforno (Renzo Daforno), lower right, oil on panel, housed in a richly decorated original openwork frame, intricately carved from wood with inlays. The artwork was most likely created in Egypt, along with its frame, as Renzo Daforno spent a significant part of his life living and working there. Renzo Daforno (1902–1952) was an Italian artist who worked in both Italy and Egypt, and his artworks are considered rare. He was influenced by both European modernism and Middle Eastern artistic traditions. Early in his career he was associated more with the Futurist movement but later when living in Egypt was more into depicting the local life realism. This particular painting beautifully captures a local Beduin woman gracefully walking through a striking desert landscape. The original frame enhances the painting’s visual impact, complementing its authenticity and charm.
