EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting world of Cairo's harem, as depicted in Emile Prisse d'Avennes' renowned work, "The Valley of the Nile". The image showcases an Egyptian woman gracefully reclining amidst a lavish setting, surrounded by opulent furnishings and adorned with exquisite jewelry. Her eyes exude a sense of mystery and allure, drawing us into her world. In this illustration, we catch a glimpse of the daily life within the harem walls. A hookah or nargileh rests beside her, its fragrant smoke curling delicately towards the ceiling. This symbolizes not only indulgence but also addiction—a reminder that even within these luxurious confines, vices exist. The presence of a tobacco packet suggests that smoking was prevalent among women in this era—an intriguing detail that challenges traditional notions. As she gazes at us through her fan with an air of confidence and sensuality, we are reminded that these women possessed agency and power within their constrained surroundings. Prisse d'Avennes' masterful engraving technique brings every intricate detail to life—the delicate folds of fabric on her attire, the ornate patterns adorning the room's walls—all contributing to an immersive experience for viewers. As we admire this mesmerizing artwork from our private collection today, let it serve as both a window into history and a celebration of artistic brilliance.
