    19th-Century French School, Portrait Of A Gentleman In A Fez

    An accomplished late-19th-century portrait of an older North African gentleman wearing a yellow jacket and a red fez. It’s painted with expression and was possibly intended as a study in advance of a larger work.

    During the 19th-century, it became popular for artists from the West to travel to North Africa to study its sights, vibrant colours, and scenery. As a result, a new genre was born, which was referred to as ‘Orientalism’. 

    The portrait is signed illegibly in the lower right and held within a later frame.

    Medium: Oil on canvas
    Overall size: 24” x 28½” / 61cm x 73cm
    Year of creation: c. 1890
    Provenance: England
    Condition: Areas of craquelure but the paint layer is stable. Frame with some light age-related wear.
