"Achat d'une Esclave" (Purchase of a Slave) is a painting by the French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme, created in 1884. This work is part of Gérôme's oeuvre that reflects his interest in Orientalist themes, depicting scenes from the Middle East and North Africa with a focus on the exotic and often romanticized aspects of these cultures. The painting portrays the moment of transaction in a slave market, where a nude female figure is being inspected by potential buyers. The scene is set in an opulent interior, suggesting a location in the Ottoman Empire, which was a common setting for many of Gérôme's Orientalist works.

The painting is notable for its meticulous detail and the artist's attempt to render textures and materials with high realism, a characteristic of Gérôme's academic style. The composition is carefully constructed to draw the viewer's attention to the central figure of the slave, whose vulnerability and objectification are contrasted with the richly dressed figures of the men surrounding her. The work has been both praised for its technical skill and criticized for its portrayal of a sensitive subject matter, reflecting the complex legacy of Orientalist art.

"Achat d'une Esclave" is part of a broader discourse on the representation of non-European subjects in 19th-century European art, raising questions about the power dynamics inherent in the gaze of the Western artist and audience. The painting is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to discussions on the historical context of slavery and the ethical implications of its depiction in art. As with many of Gérôme's paintings, "Achat d'une Esclave" continues to elicit debate regarding the intersection of art, history, and morality.
