A Woman with an Urn 

"A Woman with an Urn" is an oil on canvas painting by the French artist Gustave Boulanger, known for his historical and Orientalist subjects. The painting depicts a woman in a flowing white dress and elaborate headdress, holding a large, ornate urn. The woman's gentle gaze and the rich colors of the painting evoke a sense of tranquility and beauty, suggesting a scene from a classical or biblical narrative. Boulanger's masterful use of light and shadow creates a dramatic contrast, highlighting the details of the woman's attire and the texture of the urn. This painting showcases Boulanger's skill in capturing the essence of both the feminine and the exotic, while also demonstrating his fascination with the cultures and traditions of the Middle East.
