Arab women with water pitchers
Palestinian [?] women with water pitchers
Study of a camel's head

John J. Alsop is an Orientalism artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

John J. Alsop painted small watercolor scenes of everyday life in the late 1800s. These quiet sketches show women carrying water pitchers and a close-up of a camel’s head, all done with quick, light brushstrokes. The works feel like quick notes from a traveler’s sketchbook rather than polished paintings. Tap into *Arab women with water pitchers* to see how he balanced detail and speed in the same image.
