About the piece
Created in 1866 by the French Orientalist painter Théodore Frère, this atmospheric oil painting depicts an Arab wedding ceremony in Cairo. The work is a masterclass in light and shadow, using the warm glow of torches to pierce the deep night, revealing a lively procession of musicians, dancers, and veiled figures against the backdrop of historic Egyptian architecture.
