About the piece
This 1842 oil painting by a British artist depicts a Western gentleman adopting the 'Oriental' costume popular in 19th-century European art and travel. The subject is shown in a relaxed pose with a long pipe and prayer beads, set against a backdrop of deep greens and earthy tones that highlight the intricate textures of his silk robes and turban.
