Arab Girl is a 1844 oil by Auguste Alexis Canzi, a Orientalism work, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
In this painting, a woman sits on the ground, wrapped in a white cloth that drapes elegantly around her. She wears a headscarf and has a red band on her forehead. Beside her stands a black dog, looking to the right. The background features a palm tree, a tent, and a body of water under a blue sky. The woman's attire and the desert-like setting suggest a Middle Eastern or North African influence. The artist's use of oil paint creates a rich, textured look.
