The mounted bodyguard is clad in chain-mail armor and a turban, exuding strength and authority as he carries a spear. This image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and traditions of the people of Africa during the early 19th century.
The hand-colored lithograph showcases intricate details and vibrant colors, bringing to life the essence of this historical figure who served as protector to the esteemed Sheikh.
