"Een feestdag aan den Ganges" (A Festival Day on the Ganges) is an etching by the Dutch artist Marius Bauer (1867–1932), known for his Orientalist works. Bauer, who was fascinated by the exotic and the grandeur of the East, traveled extensively throughout the Middle East and Asia, capturing the essence of these regions in his art. Created in 1896, this particular etching reflects Bauer's skill in rendering intricate details and his ability to convey the atmosphere of the scenes he witnessed during his travels.

The etching depicts a vibrant scene along the banks of the Ganges River, a sacred site for Hindu pilgrims in India. Bauer's work often portrays the daily life and religious ceremonies he observed, and "Een feestdag aan den Ganges" is no exception. It captures the dynamic interplay of people and architecture, set against the backdrop of the holy river. The artwork is characterized by its attention to the play of light and shadow, as well as the use of line to create depth and texture.

Marius Bauer's work was well-received in his time, and he was awarded the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1891. "Een feestdag aan den Ganges" is representative of his oeuvre, which contributed to the Western perception of the East at the turn of the 20th century. The etching is not only an example of Bauer's artistic talent but also serves as a historical document, offering insight into the cultural and religious practices of India as seen through the eyes of a European artist during the colonial era.

The etching is part of various collections and has been exhibited in numerous galleries that showcase Orientalist art. It remains a significant piece for those studying the influence of Eastern culture on Western art and the genre of Orientalism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
