Guns and daggers jut out of his holster belt with authority, whilst a hookah completes the composition with a flourish.⠀ .⠀ Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904), 'Un Chef Bachi-Bouzouk (A Bashi-Bazouk Chieftain)', circa 1881. Estimate: £1,200,000-1,800,000.⠀ .⠀ Orientalist Art – 18 November, London.⠀ .⠀ #art #artist #orientalistart #orientalistartist #chieftain #arnaut #bashibazouk #middleeast #christiesnovember2020」11月10日 6時35分
