This is a watercolour portrait from 1856. It shows a man named Ibrahim, who was a Muslim from Sennar in Sudan. Sennar was a hot, busy trade city on the way to Cairo. Preziosi painted this during a time when European artists were just starting to travel to Africa. His work mixes impressionist softness with realist detail. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
