Title: Desert Caravan at a Watering Hole
Artist: Continental School, early–mid 20th century
Date: c. 1930–1950
Medium: Chromolithograph (colour print) on paper
Frame: Original moulded gilt-composite frame with corner ornamentation
Description
A picturesque Orientalist scene depicting a caravan halted beside a desert pool. A mounted rider waters his camel in the foreground, with additional figures and laden camels resting further back. Palm trees, pyramids, and desert settlement structures appear on the horizon beneath a soft pastel sunset. The bright palette, clear outlines, and smooth gradients are characteristic of early–mid 20th-century European chromolithographs inspired by 19th-century Orientalist painting traditions.
The work is presented in its period gilt frame, which retains attractive decorative corners and complements the warm tones of the print. A commercial chromolithograph widely produced in Germany, Italy, France, and the UK from the 1920s–1950s for domestic interior decoration.
