he Moorish Girl Lying on a Couch by Edwin Lord Weeks is a stunning example of late 19th-century Orientalist art. Weeks, an American artist, spent considerable time in North Africa and the Middle East, where he created a body of work that drew upon the exotic, rich cultures of those regions. His work often depicted local scenes and people in ways that reflected Western fascination with the East during that period, blending elements of realism with a romanticized vision of the "Orient."
