Catalogue Note
Nicola Forcella vécut en Egypte pendant de nombreuses années et il devint professeur à l'école des Arts Appliqués Khédiviale. Il est considéré comme l'un des meilleurs peintres orientalistes italiens travaillant en Egypte à la fin du XIXème siècle. Dans son ouvrage Gli' Italiani nella civiltà egiziana del secolo XIX ( Alexandrie 1906) l'écrivain C.A. Balboni cite parmi ses oeuvres importantes Le marchand de cuivre, peut être le tableau présenté ici (cf: Caroline Juler, Les Orientalistes de l'école italienne, ACR éditions Courbevoie 1992 page 135).
