"Bedouin at an Oasis" is a painting by the French artist Alexandre Gabriel Decamps (1803–1860), who was known for his Orientalist works and his significant contribution to 19th-century French painting. Decamps developed a fascination with the Middle East after his travels to Asia Minor and the surroundings of Constantinople in the early 1830s, which profoundly influenced his artistic style and subject matter.

The painting depicts a scene of a Bedouin, a nomadic Arab of the desert, in a tranquil moment at an oasis. The oasis, a fertile spot in a desert where water is found, serves as a sanctuary and a crucial resource for travelers and inhabitants of the arid regions. In this work, Decamps captures the essence of the desert environment and the Bedouin's relationship with the landscape. The figure is typically shown in repose or engaged in daily activities, surrounded by the sparse yet life-sustaining vegetation that characterizes an oasis.

"Bedouin at an Oasis" is characterized by Decamps' attention to detail, use of light and shadow, and the rich, warm color palette that often typified Orientalist paintings. His work reflects a European fascination with the exotic and the picturesque aspects of Eastern cultures during the 19th century, a period when Orientalism was a prevalent trend in Western art.

Decamps' portrayal of the Bedouin and the oasis landscape not only offers a glimpse into the daily life and environment of the Middle Eastern nomads but also reflects the broader Romantic interest in the noble savage and the idealization of a life in harmony with nature, themes that were common in European art and literature of the time.

"Bedouin at an Oasis" is part of Decamps' broader body of work that helped to shape the visual iconography of the Orient in the minds of the European audience. His paintings were influential in their time and contributed to the romanticized Western perceptions of the East. The work is significant for its artistic merit, its role in the Orientalist movement, and its impact on the perception of Eastern cultures in Western art history.
