About the Item

Exquisite 19th century Italian orientalist oil painting depicting a romantic sunset scene with a young Middle Eastern woman at an ancient well. The composition features a beautifully rendered young woman in traditional Middle Eastern attire, gracefully positioned beside a stone well during golden sunset hours. Her flowing robes and ornate jewelry reflect the romantic orientalist style popular among Italian artists who traveled to North Africa and the Middle East during this era. Attributed to Cavaliero Antonio Scognamiglio (ca. 1870-1880, signed at the bottom right), this antique oil painting on canvas demonstrates exceptional artistic skill in capturing light, atmosphere, and cultural authenticity. The artist was known for his orientalist genre scenes, primarily working in Cairo and Algeria, creating works that documented Middle Eastern daily life with romantic sensibility. Size app.: 76 x 49 cm (roughly 30 x 19 in), sells unframed. Very good conserved condition with signs of older restoration and wear along edges (left mostly). Please study good resolution images for overall cosmetic condition.
