This is a watercolor painting of a woman in traditional Egyptian attire. She is standing in a full-length pose, facing forward. The woman is completely covered except for her hands. She wears a white dress with a patterned band around the waist. Over this, she has a large, blue and white checkered shawl draped over her head and shoulders, completely concealing her hair and face except for a narrow slit for her eyes. The shawl is intricately patterned and has a fringed edge. Her feet are covered in yellow shoes with a red and blue patterned band around the ankles. Below the image, the word 'Egyptienne' is written in elegant cursive script. The background is a plain, off-white color, which emphasizes the figure and her clothing. The style of the painting suggests it is a historical or ethnographic illustration, likely from the 18th or 19th century.
