EUGENE DELACROIX. Studies of Arab Heads and Figures

EUGENE DELACROIX. Studies of Arab Heads and Figures. Artist: Eugène Delacroix (French, Charenton-Saint-Maurice 1798-1863 Paris). Dimensions: sheet: 10 3/8 x 14 3/16 in. (26.4 x 36.1 cm). Date: after 1832. During the five months Delacroix spent in Morocco in 1832, he assiduously recorded the people and places he visited in drawings and journal entries. On this large sheet he sketched an array of local people, capturing their facial features and clothing. Such drawings often served as inspiration for finished compositions, which he completed much later. As the artist wrote in his journal in 1853: "I did not begin to do anything worthwhile from my North African journey until I had so far forgotten the small details as to recall only the striking and poetic aspects. Up to then, I was pursued by the love of exactitude which the majority take for truth.".
