The Story in the Margin
Made in 1832 in watercolor and graphite, this sheet of four figure studies dates from Delacroix's six-month journey through North Africa as part of a French diplomatic mission to Morocco, the trip that redirected the course of his art. He filled numerous notebooks and loose sheets with rapid studies of the people, dress, and light he encountered, raw material he mined for finished paintings for the rest of his career. Delacroix treasured these North African studies himself, and works on paper from the trip made up a substantial share of what was sold at the posthumous 1864 auction of his studio.
Printed with archival giclée inks on smooth, acid-free 220 gsm gallery-grade fine-art paper; available in multiple sizes.

I can see why people like these and I'm not fully sold. The darker areas of Four Sketches of Arab Men lose some of their depth. It made it through hurricane season on the coast with no problems at all. It is doing its job quietly.
Thanks for taking the time. Feedback about softness in the detail is useful to us, and we are rescanning several pieces this quarter.
My daughter picked this out and she has better taste than I do. It is the closest I will get to owning Delacroix, and Four Sketches of Arab Men looks the part.
I was nervous about ordering art online and this went smoothly. The detail in Four Sketches of Arab Men holds up from a couple of feet away.
It looks great in the primary bedroom and my wife noticed it before I said anything.
There is nothing wrong with it and nothing memorable either. The palette in Four Sketches of Arab Men reads a shade warmer than Delacroix usually looks to me.
We hear you on the wait. Our packing team is small and we would rather be slow than careless, but three weeks is too long and we are fixing it.
