‘Trois Amis’, large antique Orientalist oil painting by Adam Styka
Polish/ French, Early 20th Century
Canvas: Height 61cm, width 73cm
Frame: Height 78cm, width 91cm, depth 5cm
This captivating Orientalist oil painting is by the Polish-French artist Adam Styka (1890–1959). Originally from Poland, Styka later relocated to France, where he refined his artistic skills at the esteemed French Academy of Fine Arts. His works were prominently showcased in prestigious exhibitions, including the Salon de Paris, earning widespread recognition across Europe and the United States.
Entitled 'Trois Amis' (Three Friends), this evocative painting portrays a serene desert setting, where a white horse, a traditionally dressed seated figure, and a resting dog form a harmonious composition. The three companions are positioned around a tented encampment. The elderly man, seated cross-legged on the ground, exudes an air of introspection, while the majestic white horse remains securely tied to the tent. Meanwhile, the relaxed dog rests closest to the extinguished campfire, with wisps of smoke still gently rising, adding a sense of movement to the scene.
The expansive backdrop features distant mountains, reinforcing the vastness and solitude of the desert environment. Rich in detail and painted in warm, luminous tones, the artwork reflects Styka’s signature approach, masterfully capturing the light, textures, and atmosphere of the Orientalist genre.
Encased in an ornate giltwood frame, this outstanding painting bears the artist’s signature ‘Adam Styka’ in the lower right corner, with its title inscribed on the reverse.
An exceptional example of Styka’s celebrated artistry, this magnificent painting would make an superb addition to any collection of Orientalist art.
