S. Bossi is an Orientalism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
S. Bossi left a small but striking group of watercolours from the early 1820s that show daily life in Egypt under Ottoman rule. Three works in this set pair riders with their grooms—one shaykh and his son on mules, another a Mamluk on horseback, and fellahin tilling soil under an overseer’s gaze. The crisp lines and soft washes give each scene a quiet dignity. Tap to see how the groom’s red hat pops against the dusty road in A Mounted Mamluk with his Sais.
