"Allumeuse de Narghilé" (The Teaser of the Narghile), also known as "The Pipelighter," is a painting by the French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme, who was a prominent figure in the academic art movement of the 19th century. Gérôme was renowned for his historical and orientalist scenes, and this work is a fine example of his orientalist subject matter. The painting depicts a young woman lighting a narghile, also known as a hookah or water pipe, which is a detail that reflects the Western fascination with the customs and daily life of the Middle East during the period.

Created in the latter half of the 19th century, "Allumeuse de Narghilé" showcases Gérôme's meticulous attention to detail and his skill in rendering textures and materials, from the softness of the fabrics to the reflective surfaces of the narghile. The artwork is imbued with an air of exoticism and sensuality, common themes in Gérôme's orientalist works. The figure's pose and the intimate setting contribute to the allure and mystique of the scene.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural implications. It reflects the European perspectives of the time and contributes to the understanding of orientalism in art history. "Allumeuse de Narghilé" is part of a larger body of Gérôme's work that helped shape Western perceptions of the East, often romanticizing and eroticizing its people and their customs.

Jean-Léon Gérôme's "Allumeuse de Narghilé" is held in high regard for its technical excellence and its role in the orientalist art movement. The painting continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and as a historical document of 19th-century artistic and cultural attitudes.
