An Arab Saddling his Horse is a 1857 oil by Eugène Delacroix, a French Romanticism work, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
In this painting, a man in a red robe is shown saddling a brown horse. The horse is standing on a dirt path, with the man's white dog lying nearby. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling hills and a cloudy sky. The artist has used warm colors to depict the scene, with the red of the man's robe standing out against the cooler tones of the landscape.
