"Halte à l'Oasis" (Rest at the Oasis) is a 19th-century Orientalist painting by the French artist Charles Théodore Frère, also known as Théodore Frère (1814–1888). Frère was renowned for his detailed and evocative depictions of Middle Eastern landscapes and scenes of daily life, which he often encountered during his extensive travels in the region. "Halte à l'Oasis" is a quintessential example of Frère's work, capturing the tranquility and respite of a desert oasis.

The painting portrays a group of travelers, possibly a caravan, taking a break at an oasis. The scene is set in a lush and serene environment, a stark contrast to the surrounding arid desert. Frère's skillful use of light and shadow, along with his attention to the intricate details of the natural setting and the figures' attire, contribute to the work's sense of realism and atmospheric depth. The composition typically features camels and their riders or caretakers, resting or tending to the animals, while the oasis provides a life-sustaining refuge with its water and vegetation.

As a work of Orientalist art, "Halte à l'Oasis" reflects the fascination of European artists with the exoticism of the East, a theme that was popular in the 19th century. Frère's paintings were particularly appreciated for their authenticity, as he drew from his personal observations and experiences in countries such as Egypt, Syria, and Turkey.

"Halte à l'Oasis" is emblematic of Frère's artistic legacy and contributes to the understanding of Orientalism in European art history. It is a testament to the allure of the Middle East for Western audiences during the period and serves as a historical document of the cultural exchange and perceptions that existed at the time. The painting is held in private collections and has been featured in various art exhibitions, continuing to captivate viewers with its portrayal of a moment of peace in the vastness of the desert.
