The Kaïd, A Moroccan Chief
1837 painting by Eugène Delacroix
The Kaïd, A Moroccan Chief is an Orientalist oil-on-canvas painting by the French artist Eugène Delacroix, signed and dated by the painter in 1837, and now in the Musée d'Arts de Nantes[1][2] It is also known as Offering Milk,[1] Arab Chief Among His Tribe and The Halt, or The Kaïd Accepting the Shepherds' Hospitality[3]
It was inspired by the artist's stop-off in Ksar el-Kebir on 9 April 1832, during which he witnessed a peaceful greeting by a Moroccan chief.[1] The work was exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1838[1] and then in Nantes the following year, leading the town's art museum to buy it.[1]
