"The Fair Persian" is an oil painting by the British artist William Clarke Wontner (1857–1930), who was known for his portraits and depictions of beautiful women in Orientalist settings. Created in the late 19th or early 20th century, during the period when Orientalism was popular in European art, the painting reflects the fascination with the exotic and luxurious East that characterized this artistic movement.

The painting portrays a young woman, presumably of Persian descent, dressed in lavish fabrics and adorned with intricate jewelry, which was typical of Wontner's subjects. The woman's attire and the surrounding interior suggest a setting of wealth and leisure, evoking the romanticized view of the Middle East that was prevalent among Western artists and audiences of the time.

Wontner's work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of textiles and the play of light on surfaces, which adds a sense of realism to his idealized subjects. "The Fair Persian" exemplifies this aspect of his artistry, with the figure's delicate features and the sumptuous environment both rendered with a high degree of finesse.

While the painting is a notable example of Wontner's oeuvre and of the Orientalist genre, it also reflects the broader cultural attitudes of its era, which often involved the objectification and stereotyping of Eastern peoples and cultures. Today, the work is appreciated both for its aesthetic qualities and as a historical artifact that offers insight into the cultural dynamics of the past.

"The Fair Persian" is part of the collection of Orientalist paintings that continue to be studied and exhibited in art historical contexts, contributing to the understanding of the complex interplay between Western art and Eastern subjects during the turn of the 20th century.
