Oil on canvas by Orientalist painter Maurice BOUVIOLLE (1893-1971) depicting a market in Algeria.
Titled "Marché à Boghari" and dated "été 1929".
A post-Orientalist artist who depicts the reality of daily life with warm colors inspired by the South.
A student at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts de Paris in 1910, in the studios of Gabriel Ferrier and Henri Rousseau, he met the painter Maxime Maufra in 1912, who encouraged him to travel to Algeria.
His Orientalist paintings are numerous. His main themes include the M'zab region, with a particular curiosity for its people.
He won the Abd-el-Tif prize in 1921 (with Jean Bouchaud). He exhibited his Marché à Ghardaia at the 1922 Salon des artistes français, which won him a silver medal and ensured his continued success.
