"Dream of the Orient" is a symbolist painting by Gustave Moreau, known for his intricate and fantastical imagery. The artwork depicts a woman, likely a princess or queen, riding a serpent-like dragon through a night sky. The woman, adorned in luxurious jewels and clothing, holds a flower, suggesting an association with nature and perhaps a journey of transformation. The scene is bathed in an ethereal glow, emphasizing the dreamlike atmosphere. Moreau's style is characterized by its attention to detail, rich color palette, and evocative imagery. He was deeply inspired by mythology and literature, often drawing on tales from the Orient.
