An Arab Smoking a Pipe is a 1870 oil by Unknown, a Orientalism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This painting shows a man with a long, dark beard and a white turban. He is wearing a red robe and holding a pipe in his right hand. The background is dark, and the man is the main focus of the painting. The man's face is serious, and he seems to be lost in thought. The pipe in his hand is a prominent feature of the painting, and it adds to the overall sense of calm and contemplation.
