ABSTRACT: The
current study aims to highlight the significance of the clichés attached to
Muslim women spread by Orientalist painters in general. However, this study
will mainly explore this subject through the painting “Women in Algiers” by
Delacroix. This paper will analyse the work
of Delacroix’s “Women in Algiers”
through previous research to understand the relationship between Orientalist
painters and Muslim women, a product of both imagination and reality.
