Catalogue Note
Alberto Pasini travailla plusieurs mois dans l'atelier de Théodore Chassériau qui lui transmit sa passion pour l'Orient à travers ses récits de voyage. C'est grâce à Chassériau qu'il put participer à une mission à la cour de Nasr al-Din en Iran en 1855, ce fut son premier voyage en Orient. Ce voyage marqua le début d'une carrière presque exclusivement consacré à la peinture en Orientaliste.
Dans les années 1870-1880, Pasini se plut particulièrement à peindre des scènes représentant des cavaliers à l'entrée d'une ville.
Ces scènes lui donnaient l'occasion de peindre avec précision les costumes des personnages et les groupes de chevaux, dans lesquels il excellait.
