The Chibouk is a 1826 oil by Richard Parkes Bonington, held at National Gallery of Ireland.
This painting shows a man sitting on the floor, dressed in traditional Middle Eastern attire. He wears a turban and a long, dark robe with a lighter-colored vest underneath. The man holds a long, thin pipe in his right hand, while his left hand rests on his knee. A large, pink fabric hangs from the left side of the image, partially covering the man's back. The man's facial expression is calm, and he appears to be lost in thought. The background of the painting is dark and muted, which helps to focus attention on the man and his surroundings. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet contemplation. To learn more about this style of art, explore the subject of orientalist painting.
Richard Parkes Bonington (25 October 1802 – 23 September 1828) was an English Romantic landscape painter.
