''Le Guetteur'' is an Orientalist painting by the French artist Alphonse Etienne Dinet, also known as Nasreddine Dinet after his conversion to Islam. Dinet was renowned for his works that depicted the life and landscapes of Algeria, where he spent a significant portion of his life. Painted in 1884, ''Le Guetteur'' reflects Dinet's fascination with the North African desert and its inhabitants, capturing the nuances of light and the vibrant culture of the region.

The painting portrays a lone figure, the lookout or "guetteur," perched atop a rocky outcrop against a vast desert backdrop. The figure is often interpreted as a symbol of vigilance and solitude, embodying the spirit of the nomadic tribes that roamed the Algerian Sahara. Dinet's meticulous attention to detail and his use of color to convey the harshness and beauty of the desert environment are evident in this work. The artist's intimate knowledge of the local customs and attire lends authenticity to the painting, making it a valuable document of the time and place it represents.

''Le Guetteur'' is considered one of Dinet's significant contributions to the Orientalist movement, which was characterized by European artists' romanticized and sometimes idealized portrayal of Eastern cultures. Dinet's approach, however, was often noted for its ethnographic accuracy and sympathetic portrayal of his subjects, setting his work apart from many of his contemporaries. The painting is emblematic of Dinet's artistic journey and his dedication to the representation of Algerian life and landscapes, which earned him recognition both in France and abroad.
