Egyptian Sword..
Looks like classic orientalist work with heavily applied artistic license. So probably the location was the artist's studio and imagination rather than some place tangible. From Wikipedia: " Art historians tend to identify two broad types of Orientalist artist: the realists who carefully painted what they observed and those who imagined Orientalist scenes without ever leaving the studio."

Yup, it was him, he did a few with the same lady, it's 'The Egyptian Sword Dancer'. 1891.
Nice pair of Yataghans... Looks better in colour. ![]() I was entertained by an Egyptian Sword Dancer in a bedu tent near Giza during a meal once. Bit more clothing tho. The wife and my son were with me. ![]() Last edited by kronckew; 2nd April 2020 at 08:27 AM. |
