The artwork provided is not “Sultan Abel el Rahman” by Eugene Delacroix from 1840, which would be characterized as a work within the Orientalism movement, typically showcasing Middle Eastern or North African subject matter. The given artwork, created by Delacroix in 1840, measures 160 x 120 cm and is categorized as genre painting, a style depicting scenes of everyday life.
However, upon examining the provided artwork, I must inform you that there has been a misattribution. The image shown does not correspond to the aforementioned description of “Sultan Abel el Rahman” by Eugene Delacroix. Instead, what we observe does not align with the typical visual characteristics of Delacroix’s known works. The painting you have shown indeed appears to be done in an expressive, perhaps impressionistic style, featuring a group of figures rendered with loose brushstrokes that emphasize movement and the play of light rather than precise detail. The actual creator and title of this artwork are not given, but its style suggests a departure from Delacroix’s more detailed and historically oriented Orientalist compositions.
