We see a character in a moment of rest, enjoying a long pipe, surrounded by a wealth of artisanal textures. Simarro demonstrates here an exceptional talent for rendering various materials: from the gleam of copper plates to the soft fibers of the hand-knotted alfombras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLight, Color and Texture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTechnically speaking, this painting is a masterpiece. The light coming from the left creates an almost sculptural volume and deep shadows. The color palette is exuberant, with intense hues of red, gold, and emerald green that contrast beautifully with the warm earth tones of the surroundings. The alternation between minute details and thick, vibrant brushstrokes (like in the smoke of a pipe) gives the work a unique dynamic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-specs\" style=\"margin-top: 20px; padding: 15px; border: 1px solid #eee; border-radius: 5px; background-color: #fafafa;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cul style=\"list-style-type: none; padding: 0; margin: 0;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ángel Simarro (Spain)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInspiration:\u003c\/strong\u003e José Villegas Cordero (Walters Art Gallery collection)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil paint on panel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 cm (H) x 50 cm (W)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2015\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-signed (bottom right)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e In excellent condition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top: 15px;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eA refined piece for collectors of Orientalist art and classical realism.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"1stbuddha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57244857762123,"sku":"s5","price":375.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1012\/6170\/5547\/files\/orientalistisch-olieverfschilderij-mercader-zapatillas-simarro.jpg?v=1778224827","url":"https:\/\/1stbuddha.com\/products\/orientalist-oil-painting-el-mercader-de-zapatillas-after-jose-villegas-cordero-60x50-cm","provider":"1stbuddha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
