Young Woman in Oriental Garb is a 1871 oil by Edouard Manet, a Impressionism work, held at Foundation E.G. Bührle Collection.
The painting depicts a young woman dressed in oriental attire, standing in front of a dark background. She is wearing a white robe with a red necklace and a headscarf, holding a fan in her right hand. The woman's face is blurred, and her body is partially covered by the robe. The painting features a mix of warm and cool colors, with the woman's skin tone and the robe's white fabric standing out against the dark background. The overall effect is one of simplicity and elegance, with the woman's pose and expression conveying a sense of quiet confidence.

Édouard Manet didn’t have much time to make his mark—he died at 51—but he used every year.
