"An Egyptian Woman Making Cadaifs" is a mid-19th-century illustration by the French Orientalist artist and Egyptologist Émile Prisse d'Avennes, created circa 1848. The artwork is part of Prisse d'Avennes' extensive collection of drawings and lithographs that document the people, customs, art, and architecture of Egypt. The illustration is notable for its detailed depiction of a domestic scene, capturing the process of making cadaifs, a traditional Middle Eastern sweet similar to baklava, known for its thin, noodle-like pastry.

Prisse d'Avennes, born in 1807, was a prolific artist and scholar whose work was instrumental in introducing European audiences to Egyptian culture. His travels in Egypt, which began in the 1820s, led to the production of a vast body of work, including his two-volume "Description de l'Égypte" and the later "L'Art arabe," which provided comprehensive studies of Egyptian and Arab art and architecture. "An Egyptian Woman Making Cadaifs" reflects Prisse d'Avennes' attention to detail and his commitment to ethnographic accuracy, which was a hallmark of his work.

The illustration is executed with a keen eye for the intricacies of daily life, showcasing the artist's skill in rendering textures and materials, as well as his understanding of the cultural context of his subjects. The woman in the artwork is depicted in traditional attire, focused on the preparation of the cadaifs, which underscores the artist's interest in the quotidian aspects of Egyptian society, beyond the monumental and historical.

"An Egyptian Woman Making Cadaifs" serves as an important visual document of 19th-century Egyptian culture and is valued for its artistic merit as well as its ethnographic significance. The work is a testament to Prisse d'Avennes' dedication to capturing the essence of the Egyptian way of life and contributes to the broader understanding of the period's social customs.
