Egyptian Fellah Girl

The painting depicts a young Egyptian Fellah girl in a frontal, bust-length pose, wearing a black veil and cloak with her hands crossed over her chest. She has pale, luminous skin and dark eyes, adorned with a necklace and bracelet, set against a soft gradient sky with distant architectural forms in the background; the color palette emphasizes the contrast between the dark garments and the light background. The work exhibits Bouguereau's polished academic style, with smooth brushwork, precise modeling of features, and a restrained, formal composition.
