"Arabe Assis" (Seated Arab) is a painting by French artist Benjamin Jean Joseph Constant (1845–1902), known for his Orientalist subjects and historical genre paintings. Created during the late 19th century, a period when European artists were fascinated by the exotic allure of the Middle East and North Africa, Constant's work reflects the contemporary interest in Orientalism. The painting depicts a figure dressed in traditional Arab attire, seated in a contemplative pose that suggests a moment of rest or reflection. The use of rich colors and detailed textures in the portrayal of the garments and the surrounding environment is characteristic of Constant's meticulous style, which aimed to convey the opulence and mystery associated with the Orient.

"Arabe Assis" exemplifies the romanticized vision of Eastern cultures that was prevalent among Western artists of the time. Constant, who traveled to Morocco in 1872, drew inspiration from his experiences and observations of North African life and landscapes. His works often emphasize the cultural distance and difference between the viewer and the subject, a common theme in Orientalist art. While "Arabe Assis" may not be as widely recognized as some of Constant's larger and more dramatic compositions, it nonetheless contributes to the understanding of Orientalism in European art and the ways in which the East was represented and imagined in the cultural consciousness of the West during the 19th century.

As an artist, Benjamin Constant was celebrated in his time for his skillful execution and evocative imagery, and he received numerous awards and honors, including the Legion of Honor in 1878. His paintings are held in various museum collections around the world, and "Arabe Assis" continues to be appreciated for its artistic merit and as a historical document of the era's attitudes and perceptions.
