About the piece
Painted in 1899 by Nasreddine Dinet, this work beautifully captures the vibrant spirit of life in Algeria. Dinet, a French-born artist who spent much of his life in North Africa, uses a masterful play of harsh desert light and cool shadows to define the texture of the white robes and the dynamic energy of the figure on the swing.
