The Italian Orientalists specializing in watercolour all worked in close proximity to one another on the Via Margutta in Rome. The group included Giuseppe Aureli, Giulio Rosati and Enrico Tarenghi.
Ettore Simonetti was a highly accomplished painter, who created compositions from a mixture of photographs, props and his own imagination, often varying the same composition or executing the same composition in two different mediums.
