"Twilight Hours" depicts four women in traditional attire, possibly in a North African setting, with a view of a coastal town and the sea in the background. The soft light, reminiscent of dusk, is captured by the artist Jean-Joseph-Benjamin Constant, known for his Orientalist paintings, highlighting a fascination with the Middle East and North Africa that was popular among European artists in the late 19th century. The work captures a sense of tranquility and contemplation as the figures are positioned against a serene backdrop. The scene evokes a sense of exoticism, reflecting the allure of the East in Western art during this period.
