Vintage Egypt Watercolour Village on the Nile by Anne Dorrien Smith

1940 - 1960
Description

*Please Note. This price excludes the cost of carriage which will be an additional £25.00 within the UK. Worldwide shipping available*

Village life beneath the hot sun, with figures going about their daily routines, and a lone black goat which seems to dominate the centre of this study. The buildings look quite ramshackle unlike the grand buildings of the pharaohs which adorn this wonderful historic river which has been included upper right with palm trees on the far bank.

Anne Dorrien Smith was a much respected artist who is known for this type of subject.

Signed lower left, presented within a nice glazed gilt frame which bears small losses, with ivory coloured mount.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Popularised in the 19th and early 20th centuries, these works depict daily life, vernacular architecture, and arid landscapes of North Africa, often created by visiting European artists capturing atmospheric light and local culture.

Artists used water-soluble pigments ground with gum arabic binders, applied directly to heavy cotton rag or cellulose paper using natural hair brushes to achieve subtle washes and detailed line work.

Authentication involves examining artist signatures, assessing the age-appropriate paper stock and natural pigment fading, checking for foxing or watermark evidence, and inspecting provenance documentation.

Frame the artwork in a simple, neutral-toned mount and slim timber frame to let the subtle earthy tones complement warm wooden furniture, gallery walls, or minimalist shelving units.

Display the painting away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and heat sources, using UV-filtering museum glass and acid-free archival mounting materials to prevent fading and discolouration.
