Description
Mufti Reading in His Prayer Stool by Jean-Leon Gerome presents an older man seated in a tall, carved chair, absorbed in a book. His red cap and dark robe stand out against the ornate woodwork and patterned wall. The vertical chair encloses the figure and reinforces his still posture. As a hand-painted oil-on-canvas reproduction, the painting emphasizes the reader, book and detailed furnishings.
