Edwin Lord Weeks is one of the most celebrated of the American Orientalists. Most of his paintings render empathy and belonging than a patronising or condescending portrayal.
Weeks who travelled and painted in Mathura, Benaras, Agra, Delhi, Amritsar and Bombay shows a mastery of artistic detail: most of his paintings bring together an amalgam of society, replete with men, women, animals, structures and dust; the royalty is incidental. A busy marketplace or a solitary mosque.
Original Weeks' paintings today command prices in excess of a million dollars at auctions. View Artist Collection

About Persian Cafe — The Pottery Seller
"Persian Cafe — The Pottery Seller" is one of the most famous paintings by Edwin Lord Weeks with the assemblage of figures, ceramics and outer bazaar wall make this a very characteristic Persian painting in Weeks’ oeuvre. 'Persian Cafe — The Pottery Seller' depicts an open, crowded café full of men seated in wide benches adjacent to the outside wall of a bazaar with a blue-tiled mosque dome and minaret in the background. Most obvious is the array of white plates and crockery strewn one by one outside the café on the ground. The “pottery seller” himself crouches in the midst of this display, wearing a brown coat and blue cap, smoking an elaborate Persian pipe while awaiting buyers. The most important visual draw in the composition are the glazed dishes arrayed for sale. There are men in and around the café dressed in tunics and characteristic Persian caps and stovepipe hats of the period. The man on the brown horse near the center and the figure on the right walking towards the viewer both reinforce the feeling that the painting was executed on the spot.About the Art Prints
