About the piece
This 1910 oil painting by French artist Louis-Auguste Girardot depicts a group of figures resting in the shade of a stone wall in Morocco. A fine example of Orientalism, the work uses a sun-drenched palette and textured brushwork to evoke the quiet atmosphere and dignity of North African daily life at the turn of the century.
