Description: | Oil on canvas. A painting by Hamilton in a private collection, titled 'A Berber of Southern Tunis', shows a figure standing between thick archways, which may be those on the lower level of the British Consulate Building at La Marsa. The Government Art Collection also holds a watercolour painting of the exterior of the building, made by Margaret de Courcy Lewthwaite Dewar (1878-1959).
This painting was bought by the Government Art Collection in 2007 from the private collection of Andrew McIntosh Patrick, a pioneering specialist on 19th-century art, who recognised the significance of Victorian works at a time when they were largely overlooked and unappreciated. | Subjects: | genre Tunisian consulate topography tree North African government building garden peacock wall man | Temporal: | 1897 | Source: | Government Art Collection | Creator: | Sir Harry Hamilton Johnston | Identifier: | http://www.gac.culture.gov.uk/work.aspx?... | Go to resource |
