"A North African Fellah" is a remarkable work of art by Henriette Browne, the pseudonym of French artist Sophie de Bouteiller (1829–1901). This notable piece is an 1867 oil painting, one of many in a series of orientalist works made by Browne during her travels through the Middle East and North Africa. Through her travels, Browne was exposed to various cultures, communities, and traditions, which she sought to capture in minute detail in her works.

In "A North African Fellah," Browne's empathetic and meticulous eye is evident. Here, Browne depicts a 'fellah', or peasant farmer, ostensibly from North Africa. The work takes center-stage in Browne's oeuvre, showcasing her ability to depict daily life and common people with an abundance of detail and a rich color palette. Browne's work generally emphasized the domestic and everyday life, rather than the exotic and erotic versions of Orientalism other artists often focused on.

Browne's decision to focus on a 'fellah', a figure from the working class, was an unusual choice considering the focus of many contemporaneous Orientalist painters, and thus signifies her intent to provide more intimate and authentic representation. The fellah in question is situated against a simple background, the focus drawn to their attire and tools, a testament to their labor and life.

The painting of "A North African Fellah" by Henriette Browne remains a significant piece of work in the annals of Orientalist painting history, valued for Browne's distinctive focus on the lives of common individuals, and her commitment to detail and authenticity in her depictions.
