A PAIR OF WATERCOLOUR CARICATURES OF TURKISH MEN
Possibly France or England, late 19th - early 20th century

Opaque pigments, pencil and ink on paper, one roundel depicting a group of three Turkish men in conversation, the latter with a merchant and nobleman looking straight at the beholder with a disgruntled expression, both compositions focusing on the Turkish men's strong facial features and their meticulous physiognomic and costume rendering, mounted, glazed and framed, each 22cm diam. including the frame.
