c 1860-80

About the Item

Encounter the resonant blend of motion and music in 'The Nomadic Virtuoso,' a captivating painted metal sculpture by Arthur Waagen. This art piece from the late 19th century depicts a vivid scene of a traveling Arabic musician, masterfully captured in the act of blowing a horn atop his majestic steed. Accompanying the rider is his faithful companion, a monkey, adding a layer of storytelling and charm to the tableau. The sculpture stands on a richly detailed base, reminiscent of the rugged terrains these itinerant performers would traverse. Each element, from the textured mane of the horse to the fluid garments of the musician, is rendered with exquisite attention to detail and color, highlighting Waagen's skill in portraying life and culture. Signed by the artist, this piece embodies the essence of a bygone era where music was an integral part of daily life and travel. It's a timeless celebration of tradition and artistry that will add a touch of historical elegance to any collection.
