Bedouine ou Femme Arabe is a 1825 watercolor by Unknown, a Romanticism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This watercolour painting depicts a woman standing in a desert landscape. She wears a flowing tan robe and a pink headscarf, with a white band around her forehead. Her dark hair is visible at the edges of the scarf. The woman holds a long staff in her right hand and wears bracelets on both wrists and ankles. Her bare feet are visible. The background is a vast expanse of sandy dunes, with a few small plants scattered about. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of serenity and simplicity.
