The Sultan's Tiger Benjamin-Constant (Jean-Joseph-Benjamin Constant) This painting appears to have been inspired by Victor Hugos 1827 poem “La Douleur du pacha” (The Pashas Grief). In the poem, a fictional Ottoman potentate forsakes his responsibilities, including his domains and his subjects, owing to implacable sadness: “Whats wrong with this pasha, whom war is calling / And who, sad and dreamy, cries like a woman?.. / His Nubian tiger has died.”. The Sultan's Tiger. Benjamin-Constant (Jean-Joseph-Benjamin Constant) (French, Paris 1845-1902 Paris). Oil on canvas. Paintings
