A portrait by Vasily Polenov depicting a man in traditional Middle Eastern clothing, painted with loose brushwork and a muted palette.
Vasily Polenov (1844-1919) was a Russian painter associated with the Peredvizhniki movement, which sought to depict the realities of Russian life and culture. Polenov travelled extensively in the Middle East and Europe, and these journeys influenced his artistic output. He is known for his historical paintings, genre scenes, and landscapes. His work often displays a sensitivity to light and atmosphere, reflecting his interest in plein air painting. 'Donkey Driver in Cairo' presents a profile portrait of a man in traditional Middle Eastern attire. The subject wears a white turban and a light-coloured robe. The painting is executed with loose brushwork and a muted palette, dominated by browns, creams, and greys. The background is indistinct, focusing attention on the figure. The man's expression is contemplative, and his posture suggests a quiet dignity. The painting captures a sense of place and offers a glimpse into the daily life of Cairo.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
