Water fetchers at Giza 1905

"Water Fetchers at Giza" (1905) by Hermann David Salomon Corrodi, depicts a group of individuals in traditional clothing gathering water from a river. The scene is set against a backdrop of palm trees and a distant view of the Giza pyramids. The painting's realistic portrayal of the subject matter highlights the importance of water in the daily lives of Egyptians in the early 20th century and reflects the artistic style of the time, characterized by detailed depictions of everyday life and landscapes. This oil painting, created by the Swiss artist Corrodi just before his death, is an impressive example of Orientalist art and continues to fascinate viewers with its detailed portrayal of life in Egypt.
