"The Evening Prayer" is an Orientalist painting by Swiss artist Otto Pilny (1866–1936). Created in 1918, the artwork is a testament to Pilny's fascination with the Middle East and its cultural practices. The painting depicts a tranquil scene of devotion, capturing a moment of prayer at sunset, which is a significant time of day in Islamic tradition for the evening (Maghrib) prayer.

Otto Pilny was renowned for his ability to portray the warmth and atmosphere of the desert landscape, and "The Evening Prayer" is a prime example of his skill in this regard. The painting's composition is carefully constructed to draw the viewer's eye to the figures engaged in prayer, with the setting sun casting a golden hue over the scene, enhancing the spiritual ambiance.

Pilny's work often reflects his experiences and observations from his travels in the Middle East, where he was inspired by the people, their customs, and the landscape. "The Evening Prayer" is imbued with a sense of authenticity and respect for the subject matter, which was characteristic of Pilny's approach to Orientalist art.

The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a cultural artifact from the period of Orientalism in European art. It serves as a window into the Western fascination with the exoticism of the East during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As with many Orientalist works, while it offers a romanticized view, it also provides insight into the perceptions and artistic interpretations of the time.

"The Evening Prayer" continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic beauty and as a representation of Otto Pilny's contribution to the Orientalist movement in art. It remains an important piece for both its historical context and its artistic value, reflecting the enduring allure of the Middle East in the imagination of Western artists.
