About the piece
Created in 1837 by the French Romantic master Eugène Delacroix, this oil painting captures the artist's fascination with Eastern subjects. The work features a seated man in vivid attire holding a rifle next to a highly detailed saddle, executed with the fluid, expressive brushwork and rich color palette characteristic of the period.
