Arabes d'Oran

Eugène Delacroix

National Gallery of Art

Two men are depicted in reclined positions. The man on the left is lying on his side with one arm propped under his head. He has a focused expression, a beard, and is wearing a headscarf, tunic, and cloak. The man next to him sits with his arms on his knees, his head slightly tilted. He displays a contemplative expression and wears a headscarf and cloak. In front of them is a long stick or rifle, a sack, and a small water vessel. The background shows sparse vegetation and distant figures on horseback and a person walking. The image is in sepia tone.
