EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from Ahmedabad, India in the late 19th century. Titled "Craftsman Selling Cases by a Teak-Wood Building" the oil on canvas painting was created by American artist Edwin Lord Weeks around 1885. The image showcases an ornate teak-wood building with a balcony, where a craftsman is seen selling his intricately carved cases. The street below is bustling with activity as men gather to admire and potentially purchase these exquisite works of art. Two animals, possibly horses or donkeys, add to the lively atmosphere. Weeks' academic style and decorative technique bring out the beauty of this Middle Eastern setting. The attention to detail in both the architecture and craftsmanship is truly remarkable. The print transports us back in time, allowing us to witness local industry and trade during this period. It offers a glimpse into the vibrant culture of Ahmedabad in the late 19th century. With its rich colors and meticulous brushwork, this artwork serves as a testament to Weeks' talent as an American artist capturing scenes from distant lands through his orientalist lens. This piece belongs to a private collection but continues to captivate viewers worldwide with its timeless beauty.
