In this captivating painting by Regis Augustin, we witness his submission to the Duke of Aumale and the French Armee on December 24th, 1847. Another striking portrait of Abd El-Kader painted in Constantinople in 1866 by Stanislas Cbebowski can be found at the Chantilly Museum. This depiction showcases his resilience and determination throughout these tumultuous times. The capture of Smalah is depicted in another artwork that portrays Abd-el-Kader's unwavering spirit with his famous quote "In my family we don't step back. " The Duke of Aumale responds to his General Staff with equal determination. The defense of Mazagran is remembered as a fierce battle fought from February 3rd to 6th in 1840. It symbolizes the bravery and courage displayed by both sides involved. Emir Abd-el-Kader's light infantry played a crucial role in resisting the French army during this conquest. Their tenacity and strategic skills were unmatched. Ben Mahi Ed Din Abd El Kader, who served as Amir of Mascara, is captured beautifully in yet another portrait. His leadership qualities shine through as he navigated through challenging circumstances. The loyalty shown by Algerian Arab chiefs towards France is highlighted on the cover page of le Petit Journal. It serves as a testament to their commitment despite difficult circumstances. Lastly, an image depicting red horsemen fleeing before hunters from the French army captures Emir Abd-el-Kader's struggle against formidable opponents.
