After being tasked by a teacher to "make a contemporary version of a historical work of art", Patrick Caulfield used cheap enamel paint and a black-and-white reproduction to recreate this painting. This painting was partially inspired by Victor Hugo's poem "Les tetes du Serail". A special exhibition of this painting on 4 rue Gros-Chenet was used for fundraising purposes. Three severed heads can be seen in the background of this painting, and a dead man's severed arm projects out from the ruined column on which the title figure stands. The title figure gestures open-handedly in front of a turbaned man holding a standard of a crescent in the background. Its artist painted a similar subject in his The Massacre at Chios. For 10 points, name this Delacroix painting representing the horrors of an Ottoman occupation.
