A Persian Pedlar
Image Details
Title: 'A Persian Pedlar'
Date: 1852
Media: Oil on Canvas
Dimensions: 34 x 30cm
Location: Leighton House Museum
Picture credit: Leighton House Museum
Interpretation: This early work indicates Leighton's long-running interest in eastern peoples and places. It depicts a small full-length figure of a man, in oriental costume, sitting cross-legged on a divan, with a long pipe in his hand. The figure is almost certainly intended to be Turkish, even though it was painted some time before Leighton's lengthy expedition to Asia Minor in 1867.
