Description from the seller
An oil painting on canvas by Isaac (Yitzhak) Saar, depicting figures in a Moroccan setting and executed in a Modernist idiom. Saar was a French-Israeli painter whose biographical dates have not been documented; his work engages the visual culture of the Maghreb, placing him within a broader current of French and Israeli artists drawn to North African subjects during the mid-to-late twentieth century. The composition renders its figures with simplified, bold forms characteristic of mid-century Modernist painting, prioritising atmosphere and movement over detailed naturalism. The canvas is signed by the artist; the precise location and form of the signature should be confirmed and recorded with a macro photograph before submission. Condition is graded Very Good: no restorations, repairs, cracks, tears, or significant paint losses have been identified on the basis of available information. Buyers should examine all listing photographs carefully, as these document the condition at the time of sale. Provenance is private; no exhibition or collection history is documented. Dimensions, including any frame, have not yet been recorded and must be measured and disclosed by the seller prior to listing.
