EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative painting, titled 'A Merchant of Tangier,' captures the essence of adventure and resilience in the Moroccan desert. Circa 1921, the scene depicts a weary merchant from Tangier, Morocco, traveling across a barren wasteland on horseback. His unmounted horse walks steadfastly by his side, mirroring the determination of its rider. The merchant's clothing and turban are adorned with rich colors, reflecting the vibrant culture of Morocco. The painting, a testament to the enduring spirit of travelers in the harsh desert terrain, is believed to have been published in a magazine around October 15, 1921. Volume 15, to be exact. The artist, Gordon Coutts, masterfully captures the rugged beauty of the landscape, with its vast expanses of sand and rock, and the stark contrast of the merchant and his horse against it. The painting, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time when travel was an arduous but necessary journey. It is a reminder of the human spirit's ability to endure and adapt to the most challenging conditions, as the merchant bravely rides on, undeterred by the vast expanse of desert before him.
