About the piece
Painted around 1826 by Richard Parkes Bonington, this oil study exemplifies the British Romantic interest in Orientalist subjects. The composition features a man in a white turban and dark robes, seated cross-legged, with a striking red drapery providing a bold vertical counterpoint to his contemplative pose.
