Italian Orientalist Watercolor of "A Lady at the Bazaar", Umberto Cacciarelli

About the Item

A Orientalist watercolor picture of "A lady at the Bazaar" from the 19th century is a cacophony of colors and textures. The lady demurely lowers her gaze while sensuously caressing the fabric she rests upon. The rug dealer, equally as adorned, offers his wares imploring the lady to make a decision. The highly detailed and precise rendering of the opulent textiles of the Harem create to show the lavish tastes of the Orientalist painters and their patrons. Signed by Umberto Cacciarelli. The group of artists now known as the Orientalists can be divided into two groups. The first group traveled with the army, merchants, and missionaries to the far-flung corners of the East. The second group stayed at home using the fieldwork of their more adventuress fellow artist to create their own paintings of a fantastical East. Orientalist paintings catered to a specific male European gaze in which the Orient was one of pleasure and the exotic other. Dimensions: Overall H 27.5" W 12" D 2" Without the frame H 21" W 14".
