Mixed media on canvas.The large scene, painted in the 'unique range of red-pink, has two large figures on the right, while the entire left side is occupied by a desert landscape, with the waves of the dunes fading into the distance.The two figures depict a seated knight, wearing a turban and Saracen dress, being refreshed by a maiden in Western dress, who is handing him a tray laden with food, while on the shelf below are a basin of water, ears of corn and various fruits. This could be one of many depictions of the story of Angelica and Medoro, told by Ariosto in Orlando Furioso, which tells of the love between the Christian maiden and the Saracen knave who was wounded in a clash, who then fled together to Catai, thus triggering Orlando's madness.The work is presented in a frame. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
