"By The Well", a well-known painting by one of the most celebrated of the American Orientalists Edwin Lord Weeks depicts a Middle Eastern man with his mule by the side of a well.

 

Elaborate and detailed, the painting is highly finished and resembles a photograph. Weeks's grisailles were done exclusively for many illustrations in his book and for illustrating magazine articles. His fresh, bold images of the Orient distinguished Weeks from rival American and European Orientalist painters, established his mature reputation, and brought sustained international acclaim.

Edwin Lord Weeks is one of the most celebrated of the American Orientalists. Most of his paintings render empathy and belonging than a patronising or condescending portrayal. Weeks who travelled and painted in Mathura, Benaras, Agra, Delhi, Amritsar and Bombay shows a mastery of artistic detail: most of his paintings bring together an amalgam of society, replete with men, women, animals, structures and dust; the royalty is incidental. A busy marketplace or a solitary mosque. Original Weeks' paintings today command prices in excess of a million dollars at auctions.
