A Portrait of a Bedouin with Keffiyeh.

Offered by: 2220 Antiques

Description
Painted toward the end of the Great Depression, this striking portrait of a handsome Bedouin with a traditional headdress featuring a red and white keffiyeh, was painted by Peter Opal. Little is known about the artist, but his talent is obvious in the way he captures the direct gaze of the figure, his glowing complexion, and his strong features. The painting is signed in the lower left hand corner, and is signed and dated on the reverse.
