THEODORE CHASSERIAU. Scene in the Jewish Quarter of Constantine

THEODORE CHASSERIAU. Scene in the Jewish Quarter of Constantine. Artist: Théodore Chassériau (French, Le Limon, Saint-Domingue, West Indies 1819-1856 Paris). Dimensions: 22 3/8 x 18 1/2 in. (56.8 x 47 cm). Date: 1851.
Chassériau witnessed this scene and sketched it in his notebook during a trip to Algeria in 1846. From the ancient town of Constantine he wrote, "I have seen some highly curious things: primitive and overwhelming, touching and singular. At Constantine, which is high up in some enormous mountains, one sees the Arab people and the Jewish people [living] as they were at the beginning of time." The Jewish women of North Africa were especially attractive subjects for European painters because they did not wear veils.
