Description: | Signed: yes Description: The painting, inspired by the artist's travels in the orient, depicts a man in blue robes with his donkey at an oriental bazaar. He is standing in conversation with turbaned figures, one in red, one in dark blue, seated at the entrance of a whitewashed house. Behind a figure in half profile sits in the shadowy interior. Beyond is a street receding towards an archway, in front of which are sketchily painted figures. Loose brushwork is counterbalanced by attention to still-life: textiles, ceramics, metal plates and a smoking pipe. The strong play of light lends the image vibrancy and energy. | Subjects: | animal; figure; everyday life; still life | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Pavy, Eugene (French painter, active late 19th century) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8744... | Go to resource |
