Description
An oil painting on board after the original oil painting on panel, The Blind Man, 1892, by Arthur von Ferraris, Hungarian, 1856 to 1936. Framed. Arthur Ferraris is known for Orientalist figure and society portrait painting. The notable journey for von Ferraris began in the winter of 1884 to 85 when he traveled to Egypt with his friend, Ludwig Deutsch, an Austrian painter who was also living in Paris. He expressed an interest in Orientalist imagery. Von Ferraris and Deutsch spent a productive winter in Cairo, returning to Paris with a wealth of drawings, oil sketches and possibly photographs. Von Ferraris style is more intimate, however; he concentrates on what seems to be a portion of a larger scene, suggesting that the viewer is privileged to observe this elderly wise man at his study unaware of the viewers presence. One of a kind artwork.
