Nasreddine Dinet's 1901 painting, "Girl veiling herself", depicts a woman in a lush, outdoor setting, partially concealing her face with a diaphanous green veil. The work exemplifies Dinet's fascination with North African culture, a subject he frequently explored throughout his career. Dinet's Orientalist paintings, often characterized by their romanticized portrayal of Arab subjects, became popular in the early 20th century.
