This audio-visual guide will provide a case study and examination of a female French Orientalist artist Marie Aimée Lucas-Robiquet. In particular, this guide will provide a close analysis of one of her paintings, Intérieur à Breti-Ounif (Sud-Oranais) [Interior beni Ounif (South Oran)], which depicts Tunisian children making textiles. The broader meaning of this guide will be the trans-Mediterranean connections perceived through this particular painting as a woman from France is painting native women of Tunisia practicing a daily ritual in their home.
