Venetian painter (18th century) - Oriental scene with figures in Turkish costume and a parrot.

Venetian painter (18th century) - Oriental scene with figures in Turkish costume and a parrot. 43.5 x 63.5 cm (unframed) - 50 x 70 cm (framed). Oil on canvas, in a gilded wooden frame. The scene depicts an interior in an oriental style with four figures in Turkish costume: in the center, a young woman seated on a red cushion, dressed in a blue gown and white mantle, looks upwards with her arm raised; a parrot with iridescent reflections is perched on the low wall behind her; two male figures in turbans observe her; to the right, in the background, a long-necked lute player completes the scene. An architectural opening in the background reveals a seascape. The subject fits into the successful Venetian tradition of "turcherie" painting, a genre widely practiced in the 18th century following the fascination exerted by the East on European taste. The vibrant palette, the handling of the fabrics, and the treatment of the figures are reminiscent of the Venetian painting environment of the second quarter of the 18th century.
