History


In 1832, while in Morocco as part of a French diplomatic mission, Delacroix witnessed the devotional activities of members of the Isawiyya brotherhood in Tangiers.
Initially the artist did a sketch from his memories of the event, then later several watercolors, and finally four of five years later this painting.
