"Women of Algiers in their Apartment" (French: Femmes d'Alger dans leur appartement) is an oil painting by the French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix. Completed in 1834, the work is one of Delacroix's most famous and marks a significant departure from the neoclassical tradition. The painting was inspired by Delacroix's visit to North Africa in 1832, during which he was allowed entry into a private harem, a rare privilege for a foreigner and a male outsider. This experience provided him with a glimpse into the secluded world of Algerian women and their domestic life.

The painting measures 180 × 229 cm (70.9 × 90.2 in) and is housed in the Louvre, Paris. It depicts a scene of languid repose as four women lounge in a richly decorated interior accompanied by a hookah and a black servant. Delacroix's use of vibrant colors and his loose, expressive brushwork lend the painting a sensual and exotic atmosphere, which was both celebrated and criticized by his contemporaries. The work is noted for its intricate detail, use of light, and the complex interplay of fabrics and textures.

"Women of Algiers in their Apartment" is often discussed in the context of Orientalism, a genre that became increasingly popular in 19th-century European art, characterized by Western depictions of Eastern scenes. While some critics have accused Delacroix of perpetuating exotic stereotypes, others praise the work for its humanization of the subjects and its nuanced portrayal of their environment.

The painting had a significant influence on later artists, particularly the Impressionists, who were inspired by Delacroix's bold use of color and innovative composition. It also served as a source of inspiration for Pablo Picasso, who created a series of 15 paintings and numerous drawings in response to Delacroix's work in 1954-1955, known collectively as "Les Femmes d'Alger."

"Women of Algiers in their Apartment" remains a key work in the study of 19th-century art and continues to be admired for its beauty, complexity, and historical significance.
