"L'esclave Blanche" (The White Slave) is a painting by French artist Louis Devedeux, created in 1868. This work is notable for its subject matter, which reflects the complex social and historical themes of slavery and race during the 19th century. The painting depicts a young white woman in a state of distress, surrounded by African figures in what appears to be a slave market setting. The juxtaposition of a white slave in the context of a predominantly African slave trade challenges the viewer's expectations and invites a critical examination of the era's racial dynamics and the transatlantic slave trade.

Devedeux's painting is characterized by its realistic portrayal of the figures and the emotionally charged atmosphere. The artist's use of light and shadow, as well as his attention to detail in the expressions and postures of the characters, enhances the dramatic impact of the scene. "L'esclave Blanche" is often discussed in the context of abolitionist art, as it was created during a period when slavery was still a contentious issue in many parts of the world, including the United States, which had recently concluded its Civil War and was undergoing Reconstruction.

The painting is also significant for its exploration of the concept of "otherness" and the inversion of the typical racial roles seen in Western art of the time. By presenting a white woman as the subject of enslavement, Devedeux compels the audience to confront the humanity of all individuals subjected to the brutality of slavery, regardless of race.

"L'esclave Blanche" is part of the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Pau in France. The artwork continues to be a subject of study for art historians and scholars interested in the intersections of art, history, and social justice. It remains an important piece for understanding the ways in which art can influence and reflect societal attitudes towards race and human rights.
