PICTURE IDENTIFICATION PLEASE

[thinreadline]

I wonder if anyone can ID where in the world this picture is depicting ( late 19th C ) .

Egyptian Sword..

Looks like classic orientalist work with heavily applied artistic license.
So probably the location was the artist's studio and imagination rather than some place tangible.

From Wikipedia:
" Art historians tend to identify two broad types of Orientalist artist: the realists who carefully painted what they observed and those who imagined Orientalist scenes without ever leaving the studio."

Seems likely this is by Bruno Piglhein Here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Piglhein)
That does not help with the subject matter but looks like he was fond of painting ladies in various stages of undress

Yup, it was him, he did a few with the same lady, it's 'The Egyptian Sword Dancer'. 1891.

Nice pair of Yataghans...

Looks better in colour. :D

I was entertained by an Egyptian Sword Dancer in a bedu tent near Giza during a meal once. Bit more clothing tho. The wife and my son were with me. :shrug:
