"Evening Prayer in the Sahara" is a notable painting by the French Orientalist artist Gustave Achille Guillaumet (1840–1887), who was renowned for his realistic depictions of North African landscapes and scenes of daily life. This work is emblematic of Guillaumet's dedication to capturing the essence of the Sahara Desert and its inhabitants with authenticity and sensitivity.

Completed in 1863, "Evening Prayer in the Sahara" reflects the influence of the artist's extensive travels in Algeria, which began in the early 1860s. The painting portrays a moment of quietude and devotion, as figures are shown engaged in the Muslim ritual prayer, Salat, against the vast and tranquil backdrop of the Sahara at dusk. The composition emphasizes the vastness of the desert and the smallness of the human figures within it, evoking a sense of the sublime and the spiritual significance of the prayer ritual.

Guillaumet's meticulous attention to detail, use of soft lighting, and harmonious color palette contribute to the painting's serene atmosphere. His work is often praised for its ethnographic accuracy and the dignified representation of its subjects, which stood in contrast to the more romanticized and exotic portrayals of Orientalist subjects by some of his contemporaries.

"Evening Prayer in the Sahara" is considered one of Guillaumet's masterpieces and is significant for its contribution to the Orientalist movement in 19th-century European art. The painting not only showcases Guillaumet's technical skill but also offers insight into the cultural and religious practices of the Sahara's inhabitants during the period. It remains an important work for understanding the intersection of French art and North African subjects during a time of increased European interest in and colonization of the region.
