Armenian woman in Cairo, painting by John Frederick Lewis

A work by the artist John Frederick Lewis. According to the source, it depicts an Armenian woman in Cairo, 1855.

The woman reclines on the cushions of a divan, wearing a green jacket, a patterned headscarf and a striped skirt, with flowers in her hand. Behind her is a window with a wooden lattice, through which the city and a minaret can be seen. In the arched doorway stands another woman with a tray, and behind her a dark-skinned man.
