"Jeune orientale assise sur un divan fumant dans un interieur avec un ecureuil" (English: "Young Oriental Woman Seated on a Sofa Smoking in an Interior with a Squirrel") is a 19th-century painting by French artist Alexandre Gabriel Decamps. Known for his Orientalist works, Decamps was a prominent figure in the Romantic movement, and his paintings often depicted scenes inspired by his travels to the Near East. This particular work captures the essence of Orientalism, a trend where European artists represented Eastern cultures in a way that reflected Western fantasies about the exotic and the other.

The painting portrays a young woman in an opulent interior, embodying the European fascination with the perceived luxuries and leisure of Eastern life. The subject is depicted in a moment of repose, smoking, which was a common trope in Orientalist art, suggesting a life of indulgence and sensuality. The inclusion of a squirrel adds a unique element to the scene, possibly serving as a symbol of the woman's domesticity or as an exotic pet, further emphasizing the theme of Oriental luxury.

Decamps' work is characterized by his skillful use of light and shadow, rich color palette, and attention to detail, all of which are evident in this painting. His ability to convey texture and fabric adds to the realism and allure of the scene. "Jeune orientale assise sur un divan fumant dans un interieur avec un ecureuil" is a testament to Decamps' fascination with the East and his contribution to the Orientalist genre, which, while popular in the 19th century, is also subject to contemporary critique for its role in perpetuating stereotypes and colonial attitudes.

This painting is part of a larger body of Decamps' work that helped define French Orientalist painting, and it remains an important piece for understanding the cultural and artistic exchanges between Europe and the Middle East during the 1800s. The artwork is significant for its aesthetic qualities as well as its historical context within the broader discourse of Orientalism in European art.
