About the piece
Painted in 1843 by József Borsos, this striking portrait captures the Emir of Lebanon in a moment of poised dignity. The artist demonstrates exceptional skill in rendering the rich textures of the silk turban, embroidered gold jacket, and the metallic sheen of the curved sword, all set against a dark, atmospheric interior.
