"Café House, Cairo" (also known as "Casting Bullets") is an Orientalist painting by the French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme, completed in 1883. This work is a fine example of Gérôme's detailed style and his fascination with the Middle East and North African culture, which was a common theme among European artists during the 19th century. The painting depicts a scene inside a café in Cairo, Egypt, where men are engaged in the activity of casting bullets. The setting is rich with cultural detail, showcasing Gérôme's meticulous attention to the textures, patterns, and light that define the interior space.

The artwork reflects the period's European interest in "exotic" cultures, which often romanticized and sometimes misrepresented Eastern societies. Gérôme was known for his academic painting style and was a member of the French Académie des Beaux-Arts. He made several trips to Egypt, which inspired many of his works, including "Café House, Cairo." His paintings from this period are characterized by their historical accuracy regarding costume and setting, as well as their ethnographic interest in the daily life of the people he observed.

"Café House, Cairo" is part of Gérôme's broader body of work that contributed to the Orientalist movement in Western art. This movement has since been critiqued for its colonialist perspectives and the way it framed Eastern societies through an exotic and often erotic lens. Nonetheless, Gérôme's work remains significant for its technical skill and its role in the art historical narrative of the 19th century.

The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be a subject of study for its artistic merit and its place within the context of Orientalist art and 19th-century European views of the East.
