carpet seller

A charming painting depicting an oriental carpet merchant displaying his wares in Old Cairo .

The character is seen carefully unfolding a luxurious carpet, while gazes from inside the room follow him, in a scene rich in movement and detail.

Jean-Léon Gérôme excels at rendering everyday life with almost photographic realism, as Islamic wall motifs, colorful fabrics, and subtle shadows emerge in a vivid scene filled with oriental architectural details.
