This orientalist painting, an oil on canvas, dated from the 20th century, presents a bustling scene on a street in an oriental city, with a majestic mosque in the background. The composition, signed (illegible but appears to be Ch. Maynadiy), illustrates a market scene in the heart of the city, where figures in traditional dress interact, adding an authentic touch to the work.
Architectural details, including minarets and domes, as well as arches and mashrabiyas, capture the essence of the Orient through a vibrant color palette and subtle play of light. In the foreground, women carrying jars on their heads and merchants chatting around their stalls bear witness to daily life at that time. The lush tree on the right adds a touch of nature to this city scene.
The painting is in good overall condition with some minor cracks on the surface of the canvas, testifying to its authenticity and age. The finely carved gilded wood frame perfectly highlights the work.
This painting is an ideal piece for any orientalist art collector or anyone looking to add a work full of charm and history to their home.
