About the piece

Rendered in 1914 by Ants Laikmaa, this masterful pastel captures a Bedouin woman during the artist's travels in Tunisia. The composition is defined by the stark, elegant contrast between her deep-toned features, traditional facial markings, and the softly layered white folds of her headwear and attire.
