A Resting Bashi-Bazouk

Rest of the Bashibozuk (Одмор башибозука, Odmor bašibozuka), also known as the Arnaut warrior and the Albanian warrior, is an early work by the Serbian artist Paja Jovanović, created in the mid-eighties of the 19th century. It is an example of an academic art from the artist's orientalist phase of creativity. The picture shows an armed bashi-bozuk relaxing with tea or coffee and smoking hookah.

Resting Bashibozuk was created in technique oil on panel around 1887 or 1888 and is currently held in the collection of the Belgrade City Museum, which houses the legacy of Paja Jovanović.
