About the piece

Painted in 1876 by Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann, this work exemplifies the artist's fascination with the people and cultures of North Africa. The subject is depicted with luminous skin and deep-set eyes, reclining with an air of quiet confidence against a vibrant tapestry, while large jars in the background ground the scene in its Gizeh market setting.
