Indian Girls

Two Nautch Girls a sketch by the American painter Edwin Lord Weeks (1849-1903). Weeks was a student of Jean-Léon Gérôme and made several journeys to India. In my humble opinion he is one of the greatest Orientalist painters.

  2. Yes, very nice work. More naturalistic and substantial than many other Orientalists.

  3. Weeks was not just a very good painter, he also avoided the cheap tricks of many Orientalists.
