1903 WOLFROM Orientalist Oil Painting

Unavailable
This antique Orientalist oil on canvas depicts a lovely dancer and musicians on a terrace. Stretcher measures 31" by 21.25" and its original period frame measures 41.5" by 31.75". Signed "Wolfrom" (or possibly "Wolfram") and dated "1903" in the lower right corner. Overall condition is good. There is an old restoration with inpainting in the area to the right of the Islamic mosque towers and at the left side of the pillared terrace roof. Period label of the frame maker, "Cary and Kenny", is affixed to the stretcher. Stretcher was constructed using has cast metal brackets that indicate a patent year of 1886. We have seen another painting depicting this precise scene in a painting of comparable size which was signed "Hacik 1911". This other work was possibly by the Armenian Hacik Tahtacian (1847-1916). This item resides on the Upper East Side of Manhattan ( New York City ) and may be seen by appointment.

Additional images forwarded upon request.
