Giafar c. 1850s

"Giafar" is an oil painting by Alfred Dedreux from the 1850s that depicts a white Arabian horse. The horse is shown in a landscape setting with a man and another horse in the background. Dedreux was a French painter active in the 19th century and known for his animal portraits, often depicting horses in dramatic and stylized poses. The painting is currently housed in The Art Institute of Chicago and is a fine example of Dedreux's signature style of animal portraiture.
