Chu Chin Chow: The Forty Thieves Descend into the Robbers' Cave (Scene 7) by Oscar Asche, 1916. This scene from the musical production of Chu Chin Chow, based on the Arabian Nights, depicts the forty thieves making their way into their hidden cavern. The rocky terrain and treacherous entrance are no match for their agility and determination as they carry their ill-gotten gains, including vases, chests, and shields. The intricate details of the thieves' costumes and the rich colors of their turbans add to the exotic allure of this Eastern tale. Oscar Asche's masterful brushstrokes bring the scene to life, with the thieves' faces etched with determination and mischief. The artist's signature on this painting appears to read "Pillard," but it is in fact the work of the renowned Australian artist, Oscar Asche. The Arabian Nights story of Chu Chin Chow first came to the stage in 1911, and Asche's artwork for the production was a testament to the timeless appeal of this Eastern adventure. The forty thieves, with their colorful headdresses and weapons, make their way into the depths of the cave, their treasures glinting in the dim light. The scene is a visual feast for the eyes, transporting the viewer to a far-off land of mystery and intrigue. This painting is a rare glimpse into the history of musical theater and the rich cultural heritage of the Arabian Nights.
