EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the enigmatic figure of Roustam Raza, a Mameluke bodyguard to Napoleon Bonaparte. Painted in 1810 by Emile Jean-Horace Vernet, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures the essence of this influential man.

The vibrant colors and attention to detail bring out the richness of his Georgian heritage. As one gazes into his piercing eyes, it becomes evident that behind this stoic facade lies a sense of loyalty and duty towards his emperor. Napoleon Bonaparte recognized the valor and skill possessed by Roustam Raza, making him an integral part of his entourage. This painting not only immortalizes their unique bond but also serves as a testament to the diverse individuals who shaped history during the 19th century. Emile Jean-Horace Vernet masterfully captures both the physical attributes and inner strength of this remarkable man. Through brushstrokes filled with depth and texture, he brings life to every aspect of the composition.
