"Les Chérifas" is an orientalist painting by the French artist Benjamin Jean Joseph Constant, created in 1876. The work is a quintessential example of 19th-century European fascination with the exotic and the allure of the Middle East and North Africa, which was a prevalent theme among artists during this period. The painting depicts a group of chérifas, or noblewomen, in an opulent interior, possibly a harem, which reflects the Western imagination of Eastern sensuality and hidden luxury.

Benjamin Constant, born Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant in 1845, was renowned for his orientalist subjects, as well as his portraits of European aristocracy. He was a prominent figure in the Parisian art world and a regular exhibitor at the Paris Salon, where "Les Chérifas" would have likely been displayed. His work is characterized by rich color, intricate detail, and a romanticized view of Eastern life that catered to the tastes of his Western audience.

"Les Chérifas" is notable for its meticulous attention to the textures and patterns of the fabrics, the serene and contemplative expressions of the women, and the overall atmosphere of languid opulence. The painting is a testament to Constant's skill in capturing the imagined splendor of the East and contributes to the understanding of Orientalism in European art history.

As an artist, Constant's contributions to the Orientalist movement have been both celebrated for their artistic merit and critiqued for their role in perpetuating stereotypical images of Eastern cultures. "Les Chérifas," like many Orientalist works, must be viewed within the context of its time, as it reflects the colonial attitudes and fascination with "the other" that were prevalent among European artists and audiences of the 19th century.

Today, "Les Chérifas" is considered an important work within Benjamin Constant's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and cultural implications. It remains a significant piece for those interested in the intersection of art, culture, and history, and the ways in which these elements inform our understanding of Orientalism in the visual arts.
