Description
19th century Orientalist oil painting of a desert scene by González Manso
Spanish, 1893
Panel: Height 14cm, width 20cm
Frame: Height 28.5cm, width 34cm, depth 6cm
This captivating oil on panel, created by the Spanish artist Elias González Manso (1873–1955), depicts a lively scene set in an expansive desert landscape.
At the forefront of the composition, two figures engage in what seems to be an intimate conversation, with one mounted on a magnificent camel. Their interaction evokes the sense of a reunion between close friends. The rider, dressed in light white garments, stands out against the darker hues of the camel, while his companion, clad in rich blue, harmonizes with the sky above. In the background, other figures appear—some standing and conversing, while others journey across the desert expanse.
Dominating much of the scene is a rugged hill covered in cactus plants, dotted with palm trees. Manso beautifully portrays the vast, sun-scorched desert, evoking the intense heat of a midday sun.
The artwork is framed in an elegant carved giltwood frame and is signed, dated, and dedicated in the lower right corner: ‘Dedicado / Al amigo Bernardino Gracia / Elias G.M. / 1893’
With its depiction of friendship and personal dedication to the artist’s friend, this delightful Orientalist painting is a charming addition to one’s collection.
