Jewish Musician in Mogador Costume

1841

Not on view

Delacroix was directly involved in promoting and circulating his work in the popular press. In January 1842, he contributed an article to "Le Magasin Pittoresque" on his recollections of a Jewish wedding in Morocco, also the subject of a painting he submitted to the Salon in 1841. An editor's note stated that the magazine had wished to publish a reproduction of that artwork, but Delacroix could only provide this drawing of the musician, which he adapted from the painting.
