Notes | This painting has been recently titled 'The Seraff: The Doubtful Coin'. The scene shows women as traders in the marketplace. They appeal to a seraff - a banker or money lender- for a judgement. The issue of fake coinery was a real concern in Cairo at this time. | | Purchased from Thomas Agnew & Son Ltd., London, 1891. |
