The black servant girl 

"The Black Servant Girl" is a painting by Jean-Léon Gérôme, a prominent French academic artist of the 19th century. The painting, likely completed sometime between 1824 and 1904, depicts a Black woman in a traditional Middle Eastern-inspired attire, highlighting Gérôme's interest in exotic subjects. The woman's stern expression and the detailed rendering of her attire convey a sense of realism and historical accuracy, typical of Gérôme's approach to his subjects. The painting serves as an example of the European fascination with Orientalism and the portrayal of women in "exotic" settings during that period.
