Lot description
Aloysius O'Kelly, Irish 1853-1936- Outside the Walls of Tetuan, Morrocco; oil on canvas, signed 'ALOYS. O'KELLY' (lower left), bears partial label inscribed '...tside the Walls of Tetuan, Morrocco' attached to the upper stretcher bar, 29.5 x 40.8 cm. Provenance: Private Collection, UK. Note: O'Kelly studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris under Léon Bonnat (1833-1922) and Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904), and was heavily influenced by the latter's Orientalist approach. He also worked largely in Brittany, where he met Jules Bastien-Lepage (1848-1884), whose Realist approach also had a significant impact on his work. The present work is characteristic of O'Kelly's bright, colourful Orientalist scenes, recalling his view of Porte De La Caserne, Tangier, which sold at Sotheby's, London, on 21 November 2018 (lot 61) for £5,000.
