Orientalist watercolour painting of Muslims in prayer by Rappini
Italian, Early 20th Century
Paper: Height 34cm, width 23cm
Frame: Height 53cm, width 39cm, depth 3cm
This charming scene is by the Italian Orientalist artist Vittorio Rappini (1877-1939). Rendered in delicate watercolours, it depicts a group of Muslim men praying in a mosque.
Four figures occupy the central part of the painting, two of whom stand in prayer and two of whom are seated. Each figure is dressed in a pastel robe that beautifully contrasts the overall neutral colour palette. By having all four figures facing away from the viewer, the artist effectively creates a sense of solemnity suitable for the devotional subject.
The mosque's interior is wonderfully detailed, with interesting architectural elements and decoration. Pointed archways lead to colourful antechambers decorated with foliate designs, whilst a frieze of Arabic text runs around the circumference of the room.
The painting is surrounded by a giltwood frame, which is inscribed with the title and artist on the lower edge, ‘Moslems at Prayer / Rappini’. The painting itself is also signed in the lower left-hand corner ‘Rappini’.
With its sensitive rendering, this beautiful watercolour would make an excellent addition to any collection of antiques.

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...
