| 10 Shakir, pastel by Eric Kennington. 'Sherif Shakir, the finest horseman in Arabia, and one of its bravest and richest and most beloved men.' Shakir had this to say about the experience of sitting for Kennington: 'The rassaam [artist] has electricity in his eyes. I want to leave him, but cannot.' |
