About

Small gouache on paper painting by Mohamed Ben Allal (1924-1995), titled "Tea Ceremony" – depicting a stylized domestic scene of tea being shared in a traditional courtyard. Signed and dated lower right in "Mohamed B.Allal 67" in English (French) and lower left in Arabic. Original giltwood frame. Inscribed on the verso: "Nr 14."

Mohamed Ben Allal (1924–1995) was one of the early generation of Moroccan modernists to emerge in the postcolonial era. He is known for his narrative depictions of Berber and Saharan life. His works often depict scenes drawn from his childhood memories – marketplaces, interiors, festivals, and quiet gatherings – transformed through stylization into almost theatrical tableaux. Working mainly in gouache, Ben Allal brought a sense of rhythm and stillness to his paintings, often flattening space and simplifying form to emphasize atmosphere and story. Dated 1967, this piece reflects the artist’s mature period.
