Description: | This is one of several pictures painted by Edward Armitage as the result of his travels to Scutari during the Crimean war of 1853-1856. In the picture, a black servant woman shields the young woman on the right from prying eyes. Armitage probably purchased authentic clothing in Scutari, but painted the figures from models in England. Scenes of beautiful young women in exotic settings were very popular during this period. | Publisher: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Temporal: | Production date: 1857 | Source: | Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums | Creator: | Edward Armitage (RA) | Identifier: | http://www.twmuseums.org.uk/artonline/se... | Go to resource |
