About the Item
This evocative pastel by Fred Wagner (American, 1864–1940), titled Scene in Tunis, captures a moment of quiet dignity. A solitary figure, seated in traditional North African attire, emerges from shadowy earth tones and textural strokes with subtle, masterful light. Wagner’s confident hand and painterly technique deliver both atmosphere and emotion—hallmarks of his Impressionist influence and plein-air training. A founding member of the Philadelphia Sketch Club and Pennsylvania Impressionists circle, Wagner's work is held in several public collections, including the Woodmere Art Museum. This piece, framed under glass, measures 21.5 inches tall by 17 inches wide and was once professionally framed in Monterey, CA. With its mystery, cultural depth, and historic pedigree, it would enrich any curated collection of vintage travel, Orientalist art, or American Impressionism.
