拍品专文

While capturing a moment of contemplative tranquility, Peynot's Marchand tunisien also exudes a sense of strength, power and dignity. The present lot was a great commercial success following its exhibition at the Salon of 1883, and was regarded as a requirement for all major Orientalist collections of the time.
