Arabs on the March 1848 - 1899

Adolf Schreyer was a German painter known for his depictions of Eastern European and Middle Eastern subjects. “Arabs on the March” is a prime example of Schreyer’s signature style, featuring a group of Arab horsemen moving through a desert landscape. Schreyer's interest in the exotic and his detailed representation of horses make his work popular among art lovers. This oil painting, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a prime example of his ability to capture movement and light in a dramatic scene.
