Description
Urban scene Signed M. Bertuchi Orientalist School 20th century Watercolour on paper. The composition depicts a bright street featuring North African architecture, framed by a wide arch that creates a theatrical effect. Anonymous figures clad in djellabas move along the cobbled street, whilst a larger central figure wearing a hat dominates the foreground. The colour scheme is dominated by intense blues and warm earth tones that contrast vividly, whilst the shadows cast by the buildings create a geometric rhythm that gives structure to the scene. The technique is nimble and precise, with excellent modulation of light, reinforcing the warm and enveloping atmosphere. This work reflects the ideals of the 20th-century Orientalist school, with its focus on the picturesque, the everyday and the exotic, and demonstrates a profound interest in urban life in North Africa and its cultural dynamics. Dimensions: 27 x 15 cm.
