About the Item

Vividly painted in tones of carmen, ivory and sapphire, and depicting a turbaned woman with fashionably short hair and bedecked with strands of diamonds, sapphires and rubies, this painting by Dooley Dionysius befitting a Disney artist tells a tale, albeit mysterious and curious. The figure is set in an exotic locale suggestive of Burma, Thailand and the Spice Islands, looking toward a large barge propelled by a cadre of oarsmen, perhaps bearing her husband or lover. The artist Dionysius spent much of his artistic life in California, and worked in the animation department of the Disney Studios in the 1930s. (Dimensions include matte and frame).
