Marilhat participated in a scientific expedition to Greece, Syria,
Palestine, and Egypt in 1831. He remained in Cairo for two years,
until he was forced by ill health to return to Paris. For the remainder of
his career, Marilhat, popularly known as "The Egyptian,"
continued to produce paintings of Near Eastern subjects. Though they were
admired for their exotic quality, his paintings, with their precise delineation
of forms, remained essentially neoclassical in style.
