"Arab Women Resting in a Doorway" is a 19th-century orientalist painting by the German artist Karl Wilhelm Gentz (1822–1890). Known for his detailed and atmospheric depictions of Middle Eastern life and landscapes, Gentz was part of the Orientalist movement in European art, which became popular during the 19th century as artists and writers became increasingly fascinated with the cultures of North Africa, the Ottoman Empire, and the Near East.

The painting captures a scene of daily life, portraying Arab women in a moment of repose within the architectural setting of a doorway. The artwork reflects Gentz's interest in the ethnographic details of the region, showcasing traditional clothing and the intricate designs of the architecture. The composition and use of light and shadow reveal Gentz's skill in creating a sense of depth and tranquility, inviting the viewer into a moment of quiet observation.

Gentz's travels to the Middle East, particularly to Egypt and Palestine, provided him with the inspiration and authenticity that European audiences of the time craved. His works, including "Arab Women Resting in a Doorway," were well-received for their ability to transport viewers to exotic locales and for their contribution to the romanticized Western perceptions of Eastern cultures.

"Arab Women Resting in a Doorway" is emblematic of the Orientalist genre, which has since been critiqued for its exoticization and often stereotypical portrayal of Eastern societies. Nonetheless, the painting is an important example of the cultural exchange and artistic fascination of the period, and it remains a testament to Gentz's technical prowess and his role in shaping the visual narrative of the Orient in the European imagination.
