"Fellah Woman and Child" is a notable illustration from "The Valley of the Nile," a work by the French Egyptologist and artist Emile Prisse d'Avennes (1807–1879). Engraved by Charles Bour (1814–1881) and published by Lemercier in 1848, the image is part of a larger collection that aimed to document the life, culture, and architecture of Egypt. Prisse d'Avennes was renowned for his detailed and comprehensive studies of Egyptian art and architecture, and his works are considered important contributions to Orientalist art and the study of Egyptology.

The illustration depicts a fellah woman, a term used to describe a peasant or agricultural laborer in Egypt, alongside her child, capturing the everyday life and attire of the rural Egyptian populace in the mid-19th century. The image is characterized by its attention to detail and ethnographic accuracy, reflecting Prisse d'Avennes' dedication to portraying his subjects with authenticity and respect.

"Fellah Woman and Child" is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insights into the social history and conditions of the Egyptian peasantry during the period. The work is part of Prisse d'Avennes' broader efforts to preserve the heritage of Egypt, which he feared was being lost amid the country's rapid modernization and the impact of Western influences.

As an illustration within "The Valley of the Nile," this image contributes to the visual record of 19th-century Egypt and serves as a testament to the era's fascination with the exotic and the ancient. It remains a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of Egyptian history, art history, and the Orientalist movement.
