The oil on canvas artwork measures 44.3x38.7 cm and is currently housed at the Hamburger Kunsthalle in Hamburg, Germany. The painting depicts a mesmerizing Algerian woman adorned in traditional dress and costume, beautifully capturing the essence of her culture.

In her hands rests a basket filled with vibrant fruits, symbolizing abundance and fertility. The artist's attention to detail brings forth the richness of colors and textures found within this orientalist masterpiece.
