turkish (?) bed

[DaSwede]

Does anyone know who painted this? I was googling for images and stumbled upon this one on a Turkish blog I intended to return to later, but now I can't find it again. (Not that I understand Turkish anyway...)

[Peter Pedant]

yeah good innit

A turkish bed is a diwan
which we know as a divan

and this aint one

This painting looks like a C19 one
and if English - could be from the Camden School 1900-1910

Hi Peter Pedant, it looks very twentieth century to me but I wouldn't have said as early as 1900-1910. But I'm just guessing.

Thanks!

It looks similar to the work of Walter Sickert, but trawling through websites, I can't find that actual piece anywhere.
However, that would fit in with Peter's estimate of the early 20th C timeframe.

Hi sg, I googled Sickert and found a whole lot of unmade beds... but generally with a nude in'em! He seems "darker" to me. Thanks for your contribution, though. Appreciate it.

Awww, the disappointment, I heard "turkish bed" and imagined a bed with it's bottom end all curled up like those slippers.

[DaSwede]

You do not! You do? I really want that answer, Robinia... but as sequined hairnets have been discontinued in this country, what can I get you instead...?

Oh I know just the thing! Remove existing dog and insert dog of your choice instead

Deal?

[Robinia]

I do so know!!!

erm.............................ok then, deal - if it's big enough for a weimeraner it's big enough for me to loll on...although I'd have to wear my pvc or I'd probably slither off.

taa daaa

[DaSwede]

Oh you clever you! Thanks a lot, Robinia. There are several other good ones in her portfolio, I like the other bed too, and the glass jars, and the eggs, some of the kitchen scenes... not bad! Thanks!
