The Fruit Seller of Fez

from $60.00

Original oil painting on linen canvas, with a black frame optional, you may also choose a print of canvas that will be shipped with a stretch frame and look like the original painting but at a fraction of the price.


Set in the heart of the old Medina, within the labyrinth of  alleyways works the old fruit seller, his beautiful fruit lit by the defused light of the day that struggles to penetrate this deep, hidden corner.  People await his attention, he weighs his fruit with care and others buy. Such fruit sellers and such transactions have taken place throughout history, this painting is a tribute to that.  In the West this moment has become sanitised by the speed, convenience and uniformity of the modern world where the charm and quiet dignity of the old fruit seller is lost  but in Fez and in many parts of the world, it is still very much alive.
