"A Rest Outside of the Mosque" is a 19th-century orientalist painting by the Italian artist Alberto Pasini (1826–1899), who was known for his Middle Eastern subjects and vivid portrayal of light and color. The painting captures a moment of repose and daily life outside the sacred space of a mosque, a theme that resonates with the orientalist fascination with exotic cultures and places during the period.

Pasini, a student of Isidore-Alexandre-Augustin Pils and a follower of the French orientalist painter Eugène Fromentin, traveled extensively in the Middle East, particularly in Persia (modern-day Iran) and Turkey. His journeys provided him with the inspiration and authentic detail that characterize his work. "A Rest Outside of the Mosque" reflects Pasini's keen observation and ability to convey the atmosphere of the locales he visited.

The artwork typically features figures clad in traditional attire, engaged in conversation or rest, set against the architectural backdrop of a mosque with its distinctive Islamic art and calligraphy. The use of light and shadow, as well as the intricate detailing of the architectural elements, contribute to the painting's sense of realism and immersion.

"A Rest Outside of the Mosque" exemplifies Pasini's contribution to the orientalist genre and his mastery of capturing the essence of the scenes he encountered during his travels. The painting is significant for its artistic merit as well as its role in shaping Western perceptions of the East during the 19th century. It remains an important work for the study of orientalism in art and the cultural exchange between Europe and the Middle East during the period of Pasini's activity.
