About the piece
Painted in 1841 by Auguste Couder, this masterful portrait depicts Muhammad Ali, the founder of modern Egypt. The work showcases exceptional detail in the textures of his voluminous white turban, full grey beard, and the ornate gold hilt of his sword, set against a backdrop of a hazy Egyptian landscape.
