Charles-Théodore Frère (French, 1814-1888) Feluccas Beached Along the Nile Signed "TH. FRÈRE" l.r., dedicated "à Madame J Bouland/Th. Frère a...Mai 188..." in pencil on the reverse. Watercolor on paper, sheet size 3 1/2 x 5 1/4 in. (9.0 x 14.0 cm), in a Middle Eastern-style inlaid frame. Condition: Very pale fox mark to sky, sheet affixed to window mat with paper tape that partially obscures the date on the reverse. N.B. Charles-Théodore Frère was one of the first generation of artists who committed themselves to Orientalist themes, immersing himself in this study throughout his lifetime. He became intrigued by Middle Eastern cultures and journeyed to Algeria in the late 1830s and through Egypt, Greece, Turkey, and Syria in the early to mid-1850s. He spent several years in Egypt, traveling the Nile numerous times, and eventually established a studio in Cairo. He began to exhibit only Orientalist themes at the Salon, including landscapes, cityscapes, and interiors, continuing to do so for the next three decades.
