Painting Description
"A Cairene Woman Waited Upon by a Galla Slave Girl" is a notable 19th-century illustration by French Orientalist artist Émile Prisse d'Avennes. Engraved by Mouilleron and published by Lemercier in 1848, this work is part of Prisse d'Avennes' larger collection, "The Valley of the Nile," which offers a detailed visual account of Egyptian culture and landscapes. The illustration depicts a scene of daily life in Cairo, showcasing a woman of Cairo (Cairene) being attended to by a slave girl from the Galla people—an ethnic group from the Horn of Africa.
Prisse d'Avennes, known for his meticulous studies of Arab art and architecture, spent considerable time in Egypt, documenting its history and customs through his artistic works. His illustrations are celebrated for their ethnographic accuracy and artistic merit, contributing significantly to European knowledge of Egyptian society during the 19th century. "A Cairene Woman Waited Upon by a Galla Slave Girl" is particularly significant for its portrayal of the intersection of gender, ethnicity, and social hierarchy within the context of Egyptian society. The work is a testament to the complex cultural dynamics of the period and remains an important resource for scholars studying Orientalism and the historical representation of Egypt in art.
