"Outdoor Gossip, Cairo", is one of the best known paintings of the popular Orientalism artist John Frederick Lewis. Oriental urban men engaged in conversation, both indoors and out, had been the subject of earlier paintings by Lewis, but this seems to have been the first time that he shows male and female gendered spaces as a deliberately contrasted pair. While his women are pampered, sequestered, enclosed, his men are relaxed, unrestricted and involved in debate, apparently reflecting the perceived conventions of Eastern society.
