"Rastende Orientalen" (Resting Orientals) is a 19th-century painting by the German artist Theodor Horschelt, who is known for his Orientalist works. Born in Munich in 1829, Horschelt developed a fascination with the exotic and the Eastern world, which was a common theme among European artists of that era. The painting depicts a scene of daily life in the Middle East or North Africa, capturing the essence of Orientalist imagery with its detailed portrayal of the figures, their attire, and the surrounding environment.

The composition typically features one or more figures, often in traditional dress, in a state of repose, set against a backdrop that evokes the perceived mystique of the Orient. Horschelt's work is characterized by its attention to detail, use of color, and the ability to convey a sense of tranquility and timelessness. "Rastende Orientalen" is an example of the genre that served to satisfy the European curiosity and fascination with the 'other' cultures during the period of Orientalism.

The painting is significant for its contribution to the Orientalist art movement, which was part of a larger cultural phenomenon that included literature, music, and decorative arts. Orientalist works such as "Rastende Orientalen" played a role in shaping Western perceptions of Eastern societies, often romanticizing and exoticizing them in ways that reflected the imperialist attitudes of the time.

As with many Orientalist artists, Horschelt's work has been re-evaluated in recent years, with critics examining the cultural and political implications of the Orientalist perspective. "Rastende Orientalen" remains an important piece for understanding the historical context of European art and its intersection with the politics of empire and representation.
