Femmes d'Alger

Eugène Delacroix

National Gallery of Art

The image shows two women depicted in a detailed line drawing. Woman 1 is seated on a patterned sofa, leaning against it with her hand on her lap. She has distinct facial features, wears an updo with a headscarf, and is dressed in draped clothing with accessories. Woman 2 lies beside her, propped on one elbow and facing her. She has long hair and prominent facial features, wearing a decorative outfit with a visible necklace. In the background, there are decorations like a vase with flowers on a table and an archway with curtains. The setting suggests an opulent interior rich in textures and patterns.
