"La Fileuse" is a painting by Maurice Bompard, a French artist known for his Orientalist paintings. The artwork portrays a young woman in a vibrant orange dress, likely inspired by traditional clothing from the Middle East or North Africa. She stands in an interior setting, possibly a courtyard, holding a bundle of cotton, suggesting a scene of daily life and domesticity. The painting exemplifies the popular Orientalist genre, characterized by its romanticized portrayal of Eastern cultures and its emphasis on exoticism.
