Carved Wood Screen

A vivid, large-scale screen painted across four hinged wooden panels, this vintage piece presents an ornate and theatrical Orientalist scene with strong visual impact. The composition draws on 19th-century salon painting traditions, depicting a richly appointed Middle Eastern interior and a cast of female figures engaged in ceremonial or domestic ritual. The central focus is a seated woman in lavish patterned robes who receives a cosmetic touch-up from a standing attendant, her ornate headdress already in place. The scene is framed by architectural elements — pointed arches, tiled walls, and elaborate latticework — with a level of stylized detail that adds to the immersive quality. The palette is rich in golds, crimsons, and deep blues, and the intricate patterns in the rugs, fabrics, and tilework are balanced by more restrained passages of neutral plaster and shadow. Painted directly onto the surface of four tall panels, this screen functions equally well as a folding partition or mounted wall art...
