Description
This stamp reproduces a work by Hédi Khayachi (1882-1948), pioneer of Tunisian painting and portrait painter of the Beylical court. This still life features a classic composition of fruits (apples and pomegranates) and a bunch of dates on a dish.
Khayachi here applies the codes of European academic painting to local Tunisian products. The pomegranate and the date, symbols of fertility and abundance, are treated with meticulous realism, highlighting the richness and generosity of the Tunisian land.
