This paintings would be more of what is classified as Orientaliste art than Moorish. That i know of,Moorish art mostly pertains to mosaics and types of architecture like those typical in countries like Morocco,Tunisia and Algeria.This 3 are known together as the Magreb.

Here`s a good site full of Orientaliste paintings:
I'm interested in depictions of the Moors; I'm not neccessarily interested in Orientaliste paintings unless it depicts the Moors.
Ok,Young Horus,dont bark at me .I posted those because the painting you originally posted was first of All,Orientaliste. Next time Google yourself and dont bother asking!

posted Head of a Moor Alexandre Georges Henri Regnault (French, 1843-1871) At the same time that French impressionist painters were freely interpreting their modern world, artists such as Regnault were creating imaginative views of Islamic history and society that fed a European and American interest in the exoticism of the Near East. Often expecting to find a politically and morally decadent culture given to capricious violence and sexual excess, orientalist painters and writers traveled to Turkey, Egypt, and North Africa along paths cleared by adventurers and European colonialism.
