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 wooden frame.

The scene depicts an orientalist interior with four figures in Turkish costume: at the centre a young woman seated on a red cushion, dressed in blue garments and a white mantle, raises her arm and gazes upward; a parrot with iridescent plumage is perched on the low wall behind her; two turbaned male figures observe her; to the right, a musician playing a long-necked lute completes the composition. An architectural opening in the background reveals a seascape.
The subject belongs to the well-established Venetian tradition of turcherie painting, a genre widely practised in the 18th century reflecting European fascination with the Orient. The vivid palette, the handling of drapery, and the treatment of figures are consistent with the Venetian painterly milieu of the second quarter of the Settecento.
