7 7/16 wing span x 4 1/8 t

a fictional stereotype characterized by pale complexions and "moss hair" and a convoluted narrative characterizing them both as chaste but also as former harem slaves

with a few small holes in the hide as evident

Perfectly Minimal Three Peaches in Basket 19th Century Theorem on Velvet in Period Frame red leather 7 7/16 wing span xAbout as minimalist a theorem painting as one might find, which is much of why I love it, just a pyramid of three peaches in a black and brown basket. With just enough tonal variation on the peaches, from gold to orange peach, to given them form, and an excellent graphicness to the patterning on the basket. C. 1830s 40s I believe, on velvet, under glass in a roughly period gold gessoed wooden frame. 11 9 16" x 9 9 16" framed. All in good antique
