{"product_id":"biddende-derwisjen-marius-bauer","title":"Biddende derwisjen - Marius Bauer","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn atmospheric etching by Dutch artist Marius Bauer, depicting two dervishes in a moment of prayer through expressive, cross-hatched lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarius Bauer was a Dutch artist known for his fascination with the Middle East and India. He travelled extensively throughout these regions, producing a large body of work that captured the atmosphere of local life, architecture, and religious practices. This etching, titled Biddende derwisjen, depicts two figures in traditional attire engaged in prayer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBauer utilised a distinct etching technique characterised by dense, cross-hatched lines that create a sense of shadow and texture. The composition focuses on the figures, with the background rendered in a sketch-like manner that suggests an interior space. The light source appears to emanate from behind the standing figure, casting the scene in a moody, atmospheric glow. His approach to the medium allowed for a high degree of spontaneity, often leaving visible traces of the needle on the plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work reflects the broader European interest in Orientalist themes during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Rather than focusing on grand historical narratives, Bauer often chose to document quiet, observational moments. The figures are rendered with a focus on their posture and the folds of their garments, demonstrating his ability to convey form through minimal, yet deliberate, mark-making. The print captures the quietude of the moment, with the standing dervish and the seated companion positioned in a way that suggests a shared, meditative experience. The monochromatic nature of the etching emphasises the play of light and shadow, which is a recurring element in Bauer's graphic work. His prints were highly regarded during his lifetime for their technical skill and their ability to evoke the spirit of the places he visited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/water-carriers-of-the-ganges-edwin-lord-weeks-1\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eWater Carriers Of The Ganges - Edwin Lord Weeks — Edwin Lord Weeks\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/a-turkish-princess-unknown-artist\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eA Turkish Princess - Unknown Artist — Unknown Artist\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Marius Bauer","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491555447119,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491562819919,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58491562852687,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491562885455,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491562918223,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491562950991,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491562983759,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491563016527,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491563049295,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58491563082063,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58491563114831,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58491563147599,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Biddende-derwisjen_Poster_CompositorV1_1786383049632.jpg?v=1786925386","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/biddende-derwisjen-marius-bauer","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
