Ecole marocaine (XX), Signed Achibani - La servante orientale

École Orientaliste du XXe Siècle - Interior Scene: "The Serving Woman with the Tea Tray" Description of the work : Beautiful oil on canvas that sits within the tradition of Orientalist painting. It depicts a maid in traditional costume (blue caftan adorned with golden embroidery) elegantly carrying a service tray on which rest a handcrafted teapot and its glasses. The color work is particularly remarkable: the artist uses a generous, textured brushstroke to capture the reflections of light on the satin fabric. The background, in warm earth tones of Siena and ochre, reveals a richly decorated interior with a square coffee table adorned with a bouquet, as well as a samovar or a large traditional copper pitcher in the foreground. The composition is balanced and faithfully and poetically renders the hushed atmosphere of a North African or Near Eastern interior.
