"Miguel el Musrab, Sheikh of the Anazeh Tribe", by Carl Haag…, Water-colour Society, 1862. Creator: Unknown. "Miguel el Musrab, Sheikh of the Anazeh Tribe", by Carl Haag…, Water-colour Society, 1862. Creator: Unknown
"Miguel el Musrab, Sheikh of the Anazeh Tribe", by Carl Haag, in the Winter Exhibition of the Water-colour Society, 1862. 'He is, like all true Bedouins, a small man...slightly made but erect, very graceful in all his motions, and with a light, easy step. His face is really beautiful...He wore a short black beard and long crisp ringlets under his kefiyeh, which was of the very finest and brightest Damascus silk...His dress was a kumbaz, or long tight gown, of striped and flowered silk, with wide, open sleeves hanging down to the knees; then his sheikh's cloak or pelisse of bright scarlet cloth, bound with black braid, and three bars of broad black braid across the chest...Over all came a mash'lah (a shapeless but very comfortable cloak)...A silk scarf wound many times round the waist, into which a couple of revolvers and a big knife were stuck, and a sword (or cymiter) hung round the neck by a crimson cord, completed his costume. As to his manners, the "best-bred" polished English gentleman is not more polished than he, and the Bedouin chief joins an easy chivalrous grace to his quiet, dignified demeanour which has a double charm'. Sheikh Medjuel el Mezrab married Lady Jane Digby, an English aristocrat twenty years his senior. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
The portrait of Miguel el Musrab, Sheikh of the Anazeh Tribe, captured by Carl Haag in 1862, is a stunning depiction of Bedouin culture and elegance. The unknown artist beautifully portrays Miguel's grace and beauty, showcasing his traditional attire with intricate detail.
Miguel el Musrab appears as a small but dignified figure, exuding an air of quiet strength and chivalry. His face is described as truly beautiful, framed by a short black beard and long ringlets under his kefiyeh made of fine Damascus silk. His attire reflects his status as a sheikh - from the striped silk kumbaz to the bright scarlet pelisse adorned with black braid.
Despite his stature, Miguel carries himself with remarkable poise and manners that rival even the most polished English gentleman. His easy chivalrous grace adds to his quiet dignity, creating a captivating presence that draws viewers in.
This portrait not only captures Miguel's physical appearance but also hints at his intriguing personal life - marrying Lady Jane Digby, an English aristocrat much older than him. The fusion of cultures and backgrounds represented in this painting adds another layer of complexity to Miguel el Musrab's character.
Overall, this print serves as a timeless tribute to Bedouin tradition and the fascinating individuality of Sheikh Miguel el Musrab.
