EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Algiers, 1864" takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Algiers in North Africa. Created by the talented artist Michael Frederick Halliday, this artwork beautifully captures a scene of leisure and camaraderie. In this image, we see a group of elegantly dressed women engrossed in a card game. They are seated on a vibrant carpet surrounded by exquisite furnishings that exude opulence and comfort. The drapery adds an element of mystery and allure to the setting, transporting us into an orientalist dream. The attention to detail is remarkable as every brushstroke brings life to each character's expression and posture. The use of watercolor and bodycolor techniques with gum arabic on paper creates a softness that enhances the overall charm of the piece. Halliday masterfully portrays not only the beauty but also the domesticity of North African culture through his depiction of these women engaged in their leisurely activity. Their presence evokes a sense of unity and friendship amidst their elegant surroundings. As we admire this stunning artwork from our private collection, we can't help but be transported to another era where card games were enjoyed as moments for connection and relaxation. This print truly encapsulates both the artistic skill of Halliday and the rich cultural heritage found within Algiers itself.
