Astley David M. Cooper (St. Louis 1856 - California 1924), "Sultan's Choice", oil on canvas, signed and dated "1881", "Sacramento, California", 31 3/4 in. x 60 in., in a modern cove molded gilded frame. E2500-4000 Note: "Sultan's Choice", represents an example from Cooper's oeuvre that bespeaks his flirtation with Orientalism and the exoticism of the Middle East, an area of similar fascination to European audiences probably unacquainted with Cooper's own archetypical American "Wild West". Today, Cooper is primarily known for his celebrated canvases depicting the life, customs, and rituals of the American Plains Indians and the vanishing frontier, although he is known to have worked outside the genre to include history painting with religious and mythological subject matter as well.
