Title: Street Scene in an Oriental Quarter
Artist: Continental School, early–mid 20th century
Date: c. 1930–1950
Medium: Oil on heavy artist’s card
Frame: Vintage gilt frame with decorative corner mounts, mid-20th century
Description
A finely detailed Orientalist street scene depicting figures in traditional Middle Eastern dress walking through a narrow sunlit alley. The composition includes carved wooden mashrabiya balconies, a vendor seated by baskets of goods, and background figures engaged in conversation. The palette features warm earth tones contrasted with blue sky and architectural highlights. This work aligns stylistically with mid-20th-century European Orientalist Revival painters, often created for the decorative art market. The brushwork, framing, and chromatic handling suggest a Continental workshop piece, likely produced between 1930 and 1950.
