Seated Arab Man with Horse 1850 - 1858

Alfred Dedreux’s "Seated Arab Man with Horse" is a Romantic era oil painting, depicting a man in traditional Middle Eastern garb sitting on a rocky outcropping with his horse. The painting’s detailed realism and use of light and shadow create a sense of depth and atmosphere, characteristic of the Romantic style. The work, created between 1850 and 1858, is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's permanent collection.
