Striking aquatint of a Mamluk leader by the acclaimed French artist Carle Vernet (1758-1836), best known for his depiction of horses and war scenes. The Mamluk leader is depicted in traditional garb with a scimitar dangling from a robe in his hand, on a horse, with a fighting scene in the background in front of a Middle Eastern town. The engraver, Jean Pierre Jazet (1788-1871), must have been a skilled artist himself.

A lithographed copy, retaining some of the original splendour, was published in Vienna by Joseph Trentsensky a few years later.

A fine copy in a crisp impression.
