"Caravan Crossing a Ford" – Orientalist Oil Painting by R. Neilson (after Girardet) Medium: Oil on panel Dimensions (unframed): 12 in x 16 in (30.5 x 40.6 cm) Framed Size: 23 in X 19 in Signature: Signed lower right “R. Neilson” Condition: Excellent condition, minor signs of age. Giltwood frame in very good shape. A stunning Orientalist painting signed by R. Neilson, echoing the influence of Eugène-Alexis Girardet. This evocative composition captures a richly adorned caravan pausing to cross a shallow ford, with camels draped in red textiles and figures in traditional North African or Middle Eastern attire. The stillness of the water, fine reflections, and vibrant palette add movement and atmosphere to the scene. The piece is set in an antique carved gilt frame that enhances its classic presence. A refined work for collectors of 19th-century or Orientalist art.
