AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Title: The Sultan

School: European School (20th century)

Style: Realistic

Technique: Oil on panel

The work represents a scene of marked Orientalist character, centered on the figure of a sultan accompanied by other figures mounted on horseback, set in a dry and open landscape. The main character stands out for his traditional attire, rich in colors and details, which underscores his status and hierarchy within the scene. The composition conveys a sense of movement and narrative, reinforced by the diagonal arrangement of the figures and their interaction. The color palette combines earthy and warm tones with brighter accents in the garments, adding depth and dynamism. The brushwork is restrained and precise, in keeping with a careful execution typical of the European school of the twentieth century, inspired by historicist and exotic themes.

The work is presented with a large, richly decorated frame in a classical style. The frame is profusely carved with vegetal motifs, volutes, and relief ornamental elements, with a gilded finish and an aged patina that enhances its decorative character. Its presence adds solemnity and prominence to the pictorial scene, framing the work in an emphatic and elegant manner.

The frame comes as a gift. It may be damaged during transport even if it is properly packaged.
