Rare sculpture entirely of orientalist flavor made of polychrome plaster of Paris depicting a Moor, a work of French origin dating back to the early 1900s. Dimension: Length 45 cm Height 95 cm The theme addressed in the sculpture, that is the representation of a dark-haired man dressed in traditional clothes and with a yellow turban on his head, is part of that broader trend of international scope known as "orientalism" and having as leitmotif is the passion and fascination for Middle Eastern culture typical of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The man rests on a base that is always in plaster and is circular in shape
