"Profil d'une Italienne à la Coiffe Rouge" (Profile of an Italian Woman with a Red Headdress) is a notable work by the Belgian Orientalist painter Jean-François Portaels (1818–1895). Portaels, who was a pioneer in the Orientalist movement within Belgian art, is renowned for his depiction of exotic and Eastern subjects, influenced by his travels to North Africa and the Middle East. This particular painting is a testament to his fascination with foreign cultures and his skill in portraying the intricate details of ethnic attire and adornment.

The painting captures the profile of an Italian woman adorned with a vibrant red headdress, which suggests a particular interest in the regional costumes and the identity conveyed through traditional clothing. The artwork is characterized by its meticulous attention to the texture and folds of the fabric, as well as the interplay of light and shadow that gives life to the woman's features and her attire. Portaels' use of color and his ability to render the human form with realism and sensitivity are evident in this piece.

"Profil d'une Italienne à la Coiffe Rouge" not only reflects Portaels' technical prowess but also embodies the 19th-century European fascination with the 'other' and the romanticization of foreign cultures. This painting, like many of his works, would have contributed to the Orientalist discourse of the time, offering a glimpse into a world that was largely unknown to his contemporaries.

The artwork holds significance in the study of Orientalism in European art and serves as an example of how artists of the period sought to capture the essence of cultures beyond their own borders. It remains an important piece within Portaels' oeuvre, illustrating the enduring allure of the exotic in Western art history.
