Jewish Woman of Algiers 1833

Eugène Delacroix's lithograph "Jewish Woman of Algiers," created in 1833, depicts a seated woman in traditional clothing, possibly a Jewish woman in Algiers, and a young girl. The image is characteristic of Delacroix's interest in the Orient, and it exemplifies the Romanticism movement with its expressive lines and dramatic use of light and shadow. This lithograph highlights Delacroix's skill in capturing the essence of a foreign culture, and showcasing the beauty and richness of the female subject in her natural environment.
