About

Gouache on paper Orientalist portrait. An old man with a white beard and white turban is depicted in a 3/4 portrait angle, set against a dark green background. "Portrait of a bearded man in turban" reflects the cultural fascination with the Middle East prevalent in Europe during the late 19th – early 20th centuries. The painting portrays the man in a dignified manner, wearing traditional Middle Eastern dress and with a serene expression on his face. The use of a dark green background allows the man's face to stand out, emphasizing his features.

Andre Sureda (1872-1930) was a French painter, draftsman, engraver, and illustrator. In the view of his contemporaries, he was one of the finest orientalist painters of his day, creating a delicate universe where feminine beauty and the charm of Arab gardens met the stories of the Thousand and One Nights.
