Femmes D'Alger 1834

This is the perfect example of Delacroix's intrest in
the oriental or in the foregin
Although I am sure that Eugene did a good job
making the women look like themselves
but I don't know how true his whole scene is.
I mean I doubt the women just sat around all day.
That is what it appears to be though
This might have started some negative thoughts about these woman and where they came from. But hopefully most people would look at this and admire it as a painting.
Either way I don't think Delacroix would ever want to represent them negatively. I don't think so at all.
