DISCLAIMER: In selling this piece, we do not support the concept of colonialism. Unfortunately, colonialism is a significant part of history and has become a prominent theme in the art of that era. This beautifully executed image does not contain any racist connotations, either visibly or in light of the artist's history. Joseph Daviel de La Nézière was a French painter and illustrator who worked with the Ministry of Colonies. He first exhibited at the Salon of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in 1897. He traveled extensively, creating sketches and paintings inspired by countries like Italy, Senegal, and Japan. In 1919, he helped revive local craftsmanship in Morocco, producing over 300 carpets. He also designed decorative panels for the ocean liner Normandie and participated in the 1939-1940 World's Fair in New York. La Nézière passed away in Casablanca on April 15, 1944, and is buried in Passy Cemetery, Paris.
