Jewish Woman of Algiers

Eugène Delacroix

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white drawing of two women indoors. The woman on the left sits on a low wooden stool. She wears a large headpiece that curves up and back. Her hair is dark, and she wears a low necked ornate top with billowy sleeves and a long skirt. The woman on the right squats on the floor beside her. She wears a simple head covering and a long sleeve-less dress. The woman on the left holds the other woman's right hand in her lap. In the background is a small table with a person sitting at it and a boat on the water outside a window.
