EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Ferdinand Victor Eugene Delacroix's exquisite artwork titled "Standing Arab". Created in the 19th century, this pencil w/c & gouache on paper masterpiece measures 30.9x19.5 cm and is currently held in a private collection. Delacroix was enamored by the simplicity and uniformity of the Arab costume, which he believed exuded beauty and nobility through its diverse adjustments. In a letter to Duponchel from Tanger on February 23,1832, Delacroix expressed his fascination with how such a simple attire could possess such elegance. The image captures an intriguing scene where a lone man stands proudly amidst an exotic Middle Eastern backdrop. The artist skillfully portrays the masculine figure wearing traditional Middle Eastern garments, including a turban atop his head. Intricate details are visible throughout the drawing, showcasing Delacroix's mastery of color and form. The vibrant watercolor paint adds depth and richness to the composition while highlighting various shades within the subject's clothing. The presence of firearms further adds intrigue to this piece as it hints at themes of defense or hunting prevalent during that era. The gun barrel pointed towards us creates tension within the artwork while also emphasizing elements of danger or power. Overall, this remarkable work exemplifies Delacroix's ability to capture both cultural nuances and individual character through his artistry. It serves as a testament to his talent as one of France's most celebrated artists during that period in European history.
