  1. Excellent!

    "In Morocco" is the most unusual of all the Lavery paintings you displayed. Of course it was the right time for Orientalist themes, as seen in the work of Edward Said, Rudolf Ernst, Eugene Delacroix, Ludwig Deutsch etc. But his other ladies of leisure didn't prepare the viewer for Morooco.

    1. Yes, it made me wonder if it was painted by a father or son because it didn't seem to fit.
