"A Himali or Water Seller" is a notable 19th-century Orientalist painting by the German-born British artist Carl Haag (1820–1915). The work is a fine example of Haag's detailed and vivid portrayal of Middle Eastern scenes, a genre that gained popularity during the Victorian era among European audiences. The painting depicts a Himali, a traditional water seller, who was a common figure in the streets of the Middle East and North Africa, offering refreshment to the public.

Carl Haag, known for his meticulous approach to capturing the essence of his subjects, showcases his skill in rendering the intricate details of the Himali's attire, the gleaming brass water vessel, and the surrounding environment. The water seller is typically shown in a colorful costume, reflecting the cultural attire of the region, and is often seen carrying a large, ornately decorated container, which Haag would have observed and reproduced with his characteristic precision.

The painting not only serves as an artistic representation of a cultural figure but also provides a glimpse into the daily life and social history of the region during the time. Haag's work is significant for its contribution to the Orientalist movement in Western art, where artists sought to capture and depict the perceived exoticism of the East. "A Himali or Water Seller" is appreciated for its aesthetic qualities as well as its anthropological value, offering insights into the customs and occupations of the time.
