"Group of Arabs or, Joseph Sold by his Brothers" is a painting by the French Romantic artist Théodore Chassériau (1819–1856), created in 1848. The work is a significant example of Chassériau's engagement with Orientalist themes, a common subject among European artists in the 19th century. The painting depicts a scene from the biblical story of Joseph, who was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers. This narrative, found in the Book of Genesis, has been a source of inspiration for numerous artists throughout history.

In "Group of Arabs or, Joseph Sold by his Brothers," Chassériau illustrates the moment of betrayal with a dramatic flair characteristic of the Romantic movement. The painting showcases his skill in rendering the human figure and his ability to convey complex emotions through composition and color. Chassériau's travels in North Africa, particularly in Algeria, profoundly influenced his artistic style and choice of subjects, as evidenced by the authentic details of the figures' clothing and the arid landscape that frames the scene.

The painting is notable for its synthesis of academic art techniques and the Romantic sensibility, blending meticulous detail with a sense of movement and emotional intensity. Chassériau's work bridges the gap between the neoclassicism of his teacher Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and the emerging Romantic style of his contemporary Eugène Delacroix.

"Group of Arabs or, Joseph Sold by his Brothers" is part of Chassériau's broader oeuvre, which includes historical and religious paintings, portraits, and decorative works. The painting is held in a public collection, allowing viewers to appreciate Chassériau's contribution to 19th-century French art and his exploration of Orientalist themes within the context of European art history.
