This 1817 lithograph by Antoine-Jean Gros, titled "Mounted Mameluke Chieftain Calling for Aid," showcases a dramatic scene of a Mameluke chieftain on horseback. The chieftain dramatically throws his turban into the air, signaling for help. The lithograph is a testament to Gros's talent for depicting action and emotion with skillful detail. The piece is a powerful example of Romanticism's fascination with the exotic and the heroic. "Mounted Mameluke Chieftain Calling for Aid" is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago.
