"Alnaschar's Fortune, Arabian Nights" is a painting by the Scottish artist William Ewart Lockhart, created in the late 19th century. Lockhart, born in 1846 and passing in 1900, was known for his detailed and evocative works that often drew inspiration from literature and historical themes. This particular painting is based on a tale from "One Thousand and One Nights," also known as "Arabian Nights," a collection of Middle Eastern folk tales compiled during the Islamic Golden Age.

The story of Alnaschar, also known as "The Barber's Tale of His Fifth Brother," revolves around a poor man who dreams of wealth and prosperity. Alnaschar invests his last few coins in a basket of glassware, which he plans to sell at a profit. As he daydreams about his future riches, he accidentally kicks over the basket, shattering his dreams along with the glass. Lockhart's painting captures the moment of Alnaschar's reverie, filled with intricate details that reflect the opulence and exoticism associated with the Arabian Nights tales.

Lockhart's work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant use of color, which bring the fantastical elements of the story to life. The painting not only illustrates a specific moment from the tale but also encapsulates the broader themes of ambition, folly, and the fragility of human aspirations. "Alnaschar's Fortune, Arabian Nights" stands as a testament to Lockhart's ability to translate literary narratives into visual art, making the timeless stories of the Arabian Nights accessible to a wider audience through his evocative and richly detailed compositions.
