This is a watercolour by Mariano Fortuny y Marsal. It dates from 1860 to 1870. The artist studied in Barcelona then moved to Italy. After trips to Morocco in 1860 and 1862 he focused on oriental subjects. The work shows his quick, skillful use of colour and light. Some think it may relate to an etching he made in 1866. Others see links to a watercolour from 1869 in Madrid. Try looking up Fortuny y Marsal, Mariano.
