Orientalist school (20th century) Woman with scarf Watercolor signed lower right 42.5 x 29 cm (view) Note: "Femme au foulard" is a watercolor by the Orientalist School, depicting a woman elegantly draped in a headscarf, typical of the aesthetic sensibility of Oriental artists in the 19th century. The soft colors and fluidity of the watercolor capture the lightness of the fabric and the beauty of the female figure, while highlighting the subtle features of the face. Orientalist art is known for its ability to blend the exoticism and visual appeal of the Middle East and North Africa, and this watercolor is part of that tradition. The composition allows both an exploration of textures and an intimate interpretation of the female figure, making it a valuable addition for collectors of Orientalist art.
