Boabdil’s Farewell to Granada

Boabdil's Farewell to Granada (French: L'Adieu du roi Boabdil à Grenade) is an oil-on-canvas painting by Alfred Dehodencq. It was first exhibited at the Salon of 1869 and is currently in the collection of the Musée d'Orsay. There are numerous drawn studies and two painted sketches by Dehodencq that show little variation with the finished work. One of these is at the Arnoldi-Livie Gallery in Munich and the other is in the Snite Museum of Art at the University of Notre Dame. The Louvre also has a sketch for a figure who may be Boabdil.
