Eugène Girardet
(1853 - 1907)
 

Eugène Alexis Girardet was a French Orientalist painter of Swiss ancestry. In 1898, he visited Egypt and Palestine, producing many works depicting the lives of desert nomads. Unlike other Orientalists, he produced no harem scenes. Upon returning to France, he became a teacher at the Académie Julian.
