Hassan El Glaoui

Lusko Art Galerie, Tangier

Acquired from the above by the present owner

The theme of the Departure of the Harka is among the less frequently explored themes by El Glaoui throughout his life and artistic career, making these distinctive scenes exceptionally rare. "Harka" refers to militia troops or units that were historically raised by a political or religious authority to carry out punitive expeditions, often mobilized for military or law enforcement purposes, against insurgents or rebellious groups.
