"Chibouk Smoker" is a painting by Rudolf Ernst, a German artist known for his Orientalist works. Ernst's painting depicts a man in traditional Middle Eastern attire, seated on a chair and smoking a long pipe. The intricate tilework behind the figure and the sumptuous fabrics of his clothing suggest a luxurious setting. This painting is a prime example of Orientalist art, a genre popular in the 19th century that romanticized Eastern cultures. Ernst's works are known for their meticulous details and realistic portrayal of figures and scenes.
