Photogravure from the original painting by Jean Léon Gérôme, exhibited in the Paris Salon, 1888
THIS fine picture is a thoroughly characteristic specimen of the work of the most popular of modern French artists. Oriental subjects especially attracted him, as he had an eye for striking figures and brilliant colors. He died January 10, 1904.
