Desdemona Cursed by her Father (Desdemona maudite par son père) is a 1850 unspecified by Eugène Delacroix, a French Romanticism work, held at Brooklyn Museum.
This painting depicts a dramatic scene of a man in a red robe, his dark hair tied back, standing over a woman who is kneeling on the floor. The woman, dressed in a green top and a long, dark red skirt, reaches up towards the man with her arms outstretched. The man's right arm is raised, and his left hand grasps the woman's head. The scene is set against a yellow wall with a small window on the right side. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of tension and emotion, with the man's raised arm and the woman's outstretched hands conveying a sense of drama and conflict.
