(California/France, 1826-1898)Algerian Girl Resting, signed lower left "E. Narjot/1887", oil on canvas, 26 x 38 in.; early 20th century gilt wood frame, 30-1/4 x 42-3/8 in.Note: Narjot began his training in Paris, France, where he was born. The allure of the California gold rush brought him to California where he eventually settled in San Francisco after a frustrating period as a gold miner. He painted both American and European subjects. This portrait of a resting girl on a tropical terrace is a rare offering as many of Narjot's paintings were destroyed in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake.˜Note: Narjot began his training in Paris, France, where he was born.
