Femmes d'Alger is a 1833 ink by Eugène Delacroix, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
The painting depicts two women sitting on the floor in a room. The woman on the left is topless, with a cloth draped over her lap. She has dark hair and is looking directly at the viewer. The woman on the right is wearing a headscarf and a long dress, and is leaning on her elbow, looking at the other woman. The room has a low ceiling and a small window with a curtain. The women are surrounded by cushions and rugs, and there is a small table with a vase in the background. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of intimacy and relaxation.
