"In the Shade of the Courtyard" is an Orientalist painting by Alexandre-Gabriel Decamps, a French artist known for his depictions of the Middle East. The painting showcases Decamps' interest in capturing the atmosphere and daily life of the region, with its depiction of a sun-drenched courtyard, figures in traditional attire, and the architectural details of a Middle Eastern building. This painting reflects the fascination with the exotic that characterized the Orientalist movement of the 19th century.
