"Courtyard of the Painter's House, Cairo" is an oil painting by the British Orientalist artist John Frederick Lewis (1804–1876). Created in 1864, this work is a quintessential example of Lewis's detailed and atmospheric depictions of Middle Eastern scenes, which contributed to his reputation as one of the foremost Orientalist painters of the 19th century. The painting measures 59.7 x 49.5 cm and is part of a private collection.

The painting portrays an intimate view of a sun-drenched courtyard within a traditional Cairene house. Lewis's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the architectural elements, such as the elaborately carved mashrabiya (wooden lattice screens), the ornate geometric patterns on the walls, and the intricate tiles that pave the courtyard. The scene is devoid of human presence, which is unusual for Lewis's works, as he often included figures in his compositions. This absence imbues the painting with a sense of tranquility and timelessness, inviting the viewer to contemplate the beauty and serenity of the setting.

Lewis lived in Cairo for a decade from 1841 to 1851, and his experiences there deeply influenced his artistic output. He became known for his authentic portrayal of Egyptian life and architecture, often working from sketches and memories of his time in the Middle East. "Courtyard of the Painter's House, Cairo" reflects Lewis's commitment to capturing the essence of the region's culture and environment, making it a valuable piece for understanding the Orientalist movement and its impact on European art during the 19th century.

The painting has been exhibited in various art institutions and has been discussed in scholarly works on Orientalism and 19th-century British art. It is considered an important work within Lewis's oeuvre, encapsulating his skill in rendering light and shadow, his fascination with Islamic art and architecture, and his contribution to the visual culture of Orientalism.
