The is a rare Impressionist oil painting depicting a Middle Eastern street market scene by renowned artist Arthur V. Diehl (American, 1870-1929), painted in 1928. This original painting from the early 20th century is signed and dated by the artist. It is painted on artist board and is in matching frame, making it a unique and valuable piece of art. Frame measures 10.25” height x 8.25” width.
There is some damage to the painting in the bottom left corner and the frame is a little loose. Sells as is, so please review the photos provided carefully before purchase.
While Diehl is most famous for his Cape Cod harbor and dune landscapes, his heavily textured, vibrant Middle Eastern and European street market scenes are highly sought after by collectors. Pieces sharing this specific aesthetic consistently draw healthy competitive interest at major art sales.
Diehl operated at a famously high speed—frequently painting multiple boards a day live in front of buyers. This quick, palette-knife technique creates the distinctive impasto texture visible across the white building plaster in this painting.
With its handmade quality and Impressionist style, this painting captures the essence of a market scene with intricate details and vivid colors, making it a sought-after addition to any art collection.
