"Camels At Rest, Algiers" is a painting by the American Orientalist painter Marcus Waterman (1834–1914). Known for his depictions of North African and Middle Eastern scenes, Waterman's work is characterized by its attention to detail, vibrant colors, and the ability to capture the essence of the exotic locales he portrayed. This particular painting, as suggested by its title, features camels at rest in the city of Algiers, which is the capital of Algeria in North Africa.

The painting is a reflection of the 19th-century fascination with Orientalism, a genre that was popular among European and American artists, who were intrigued by the perceived mystery and romance of the lands east of the Mediterranean. "Camels At Rest, Algiers" showcases Waterman's skill in rendering the serene and contemplative nature of the scene. The camels are typically depicted in a state of repose, possibly after a long journey, which is a common theme in Orientalist art, symbolizing the connection between the arduous travels in the desert and the tranquility found upon reaching a destination.

Marcus Waterman's travels to North Africa and the Middle East provided him with the inspiration and authenticity to create such works. His paintings are appreciated for their ethnographic accuracy and the way they convey the cultural ambiance of the regions he visited. "Camels At Rest, Algiers" not only captures a moment in time but also serves as a visual document of the period's cultural interactions and Western perceptions of the East.

The painting is part of a larger body of work by Waterman that contributes to the understanding of Orientalist art in American art history. While the exact date of creation for "Camels At Rest, Algiers" is not specified, it is likely from the latter part of the 19th century, when Waterman was most active in his travels and artistic production.
