Description : Il venditore d'armi ad Alessandria
Oil painting on canvas. At the bottom right the signature of an unidentified artist. On the frame, a plate with the title in French, which locates the scene in Alexandria, Egypt. In a street of an Arab city, with white houses reflecting the light under a clear sky, an old merchant offers weapons to another man, who is cocking the long musket he is holding as a test. The intense luminosity typical of orientalist subjects dominates, in vogue in the nineteenth century. The painting has a patch on the back; it is presented in a stylish frame.
