Le sultan du Maroc entouré de sa garde is a 1856 oil by Eugène Delacroix, a French Romanticism work, held at Norton Simon Museum.
This painting shows a man in white robes riding a horse. He holds an umbrella in his right hand and looks to his right. The man is surrounded by a crowd of people, some of whom are looking at him. In the background, there are buildings and a blue sky with clouds. The man's white robes stand out against the more subdued colors of the crowd and the background. The umbrella he holds adds a pop of color to the scene. If you're interested in learning more about the artist who created this work, you might want to look up Eugène Delacroix.
