"Early Morning in the Wilderness of Shur" is an oil painting by the British artist Frederick Goodall (1822–1904). Created in 1860, this work exemplifies Goodall's preoccupation with Orientalist themes and his interest in the landscapes and peoples of the Middle East, a region he visited multiple times during the 1850s. The painting's title references the biblical Wilderness of Shur, an area that the Israelites passed through according to the Book of Exodus in the Old Testament.

Measuring 36 x 54 inches, the painting depicts a serene and luminous desert scene at dawn, with the soft light of the early morning sun casting a warm glow over the landscape. The composition is notable for its attention to detail and atmospheric effects, capturing the vastness and tranquility of the desert environment. Goodall's skillful use of light and shadow, as well as his meticulous rendering of the figures and the natural setting, contribute to the painting's sense of realism and its evocative mood.

"Early Morning in the Wilderness of Shur" was exhibited at the Royal Academy in London in 1860, where it received critical acclaim for its technical mastery and its exotic subject matter. The painting is part of a broader 19th-century European artistic fascination with the Orient, which was often characterized by romanticized and sometimes stereotypical portrayals of Eastern landscapes and cultures.

Today, the painting is held in a private collection, and it continues to be studied as an example of Victorian Orientalist art. Goodall's work, including "Early Morning in the Wilderness of Shur," has been the subject of various art historical analyses that explore the intersections of art, imperialism, and cultural representation during the height of the British Empire.
