Description
This work by Yahia Turki depicts a picturesque character from traditional urban life: a traveling merchant carrying an impressive pile of straw hats (m'dhalla) and fans.
Turki here captures the Mediterranean art of living facing the sun. The seller becomes an iconic figure of the Tunisian street, symbolizing the ingenuity of popular commerce and the poetry of the small trades that enliven the country's public squares and souks.
