The artwork titled “Metal ornament taken from the Mosque of Es-Sakra, from ‘The Life of Our Lord Jesus Christ'” was created by artist James Tissot. Rendered in ink on paper, this piece belongs to the Realism art movement and is categorized as a sketch and study. It is presently housed in the Brooklyn Museum, located in New York City, NY, US.
The artwork is a detailed sketch that features an intricate pattern consistent with Islamic art from the Mosque of Es-Sakra. The design includes ornate, repetitive motifs that appear to be of floral and foliate nature, meticulously arranged in an elongated, horizontal format. The border of the artwork is framed with a consistent, linear design that emphasizes the refined craftsmanship of the artist. The monochromatic use of ink on paper highlights the delicacy and precision involved in creating this ornate ornamentation.
