Jewish Musician in Mogador Costume, Morocco, from "Le Magasin Pittoresque"
Eugène Delacroix|Andrew, Best, Leloir, Hotelin et Régnier
January 1842 · Wood engraving on newsprint; second state · Drawings and Prints
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, 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 only provided a drawing of the musician, which he adapted from the painting.
