Collection particulière, France. Après un voyage dans le sud de l"Espagne, où il découvre l"architecture mauresque, Alexandre Roubtzoff décide de visiter la Tunisie. Il a 30 ans lorsqu"il arrive à Tunis en 1914. Il va alors entamer une véritable vie de "peintre-voyageur", explorant l"Afrique du nord. Cependant, son pays de prédilection reste la Tunisie. Notre tableau, œuvre magistrale restée inconnue depuis 1920, est une magnifique illustration de la belle série de tableaux sur les femmes tunisiennes de ce grand artiste orientaliste. Deux jeunes femmes au premier plan discutent, assises sur des nattes. Leurs vêtements, leurs bijoux, leur attitude tranquille illustrent la douceur de vivre de ce pays baigné de soleil. Chacune des femmes est identifiée par son prénom. Se côtoient donc "Fatma", "Salma" et "Mahbouba", modèles chers à Roubtzoff qu"il représentera parfois seules dans ses autres tableaux. Alexandre Roubtzoff se montre un merveilleux coloriste dans ce tableau où les bleus jouent avec les roses et les jaunes. Mais c"est aussi un fidèle témoignage de la vie quotidienne en Tunisie, et de ses costumes traditionnels. After travelling to southern Spain where he discovered the Moorish architecture, Alexander Roubtzoff visited Tunisia. He was 30 years old when he arrived in Tunis in 1914. He began a new life as a "painter-traveler", exploring North Africa. However, Tunisia remained his favorite country. Our painting, privately owned since 1920 and fresh on the market, is a beautiful illustration of Alexandre Roubzoff"s skill as an Orientalist painter as well as a genre scene painter particularly talented for representing beautiful ladies. Two young women on the foreground are discussing, sitting on mats. Their clothes, their jewelry, their leisurely attitude illustrate the peaceful life in this country bathed by the sunlight. Each woman is identified by her first name. "Fatma", "Salma" and "Mahbouba", some of Roubtzoff"s favorite models have often been painted as a single figure. Our painting is quite rare for, Roubtzoff chose to represent them as a part of the Tunisian life and not as plain models, giving them a real life. Alexander Roubtzoff is a wonderful colorist where the blue color plays with pink and yellow. But this masterpiece is also a true testimony of everyday life in Tunisia, and traditional oriental costumes.
