About

A close-up portrait of a young bedouin by Austrian artist Franz Xaver Kosler (1864-1905). 

He was one of the most celebrated Orientalist painters of his generation. Kosler began his artistic  education at Vienna's Akademie der Bildenden Künste, under the famed Austrian Orientalist artist Leopold Carl Müller.  In 1886,  Kosler, strongly influenced by his tutor, started a journey overseas. He traveled to Dalmatia, Montenegro, Albania, and Egypt. Despite of fame and success, Kosler's signature touch was close-up portraits of common people, dressed in traditional clothing.

Signed 'F. Kosler' at the lower left.
