French artist Theobald Chartran was a popular illustrator and Vanity Fair caricaturist who also painted political and polemical works, as well as portraiture for wealthy patrons. “The Mandolin Player” by Chartran was one of the artist’s occasional forays into sensual Orientalism, executed gracefully, with thoughtful coloring and facture, framed with meticulous detail.
