At Prayer 1858

"At Prayer" is a painting created in 1858 by the French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme. The painting depicts a man in traditional Islamic clothing kneeling in prayer within a mosque. Gérôme's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the realistic depiction of the man's clothing, the intricate patterns of the mosque's architecture, and the soft light illuminating the scene. The painting reflects the growing interest in Orientalism during the 19th century, a trend that sought to capture the beauty and mystery of the East.
