"A Night Encampment before the Sphinx" is a 19th-century Orientalist painting by the German-born British artist Carl Haag (1820–1915). Known for his detailed and vivid watercolors, Haag was a traveler and painter who often depicted scenes from his journeys to the Middle East and North Africa. This particular work captures the enigmatic atmosphere of a nighttime scene in the desert, featuring the Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt.

The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and atmospheric use of light and shadow, which was typical of Haag's style. It portrays a group of people, possibly travelers or local Bedouins, encamped for the night in the shadow of the Sphinx, with their tents pitched and camels resting nearby. The scene is illuminated by the soft glow of a campfire, which contrasts with the starry sky above and the ancient, inscrutable presence of the Sphinx.

"A Night Encampment before the Sphinx" reflects the 19th-century European fascination with the exoticism of the East, a theme that was prevalent among Orientalist artists of the time. Haag's work often conveyed a sense of romanticism and adventure, capturing the imagination of his contemporaries who were intrigued by lands that seemed so distant and different from their own.

The painting is significant for its representation of the Orientalist movement in art, as well as for its historical depiction of Egypt during a period of increasing Western interest in the region's ancient culture. Carl Haag's work, including "A Night Encampment before the Sphinx," contributed to the visual culture of the time and provided a window into the allure of the Orient for Western audiences.
