An Egyptian woman playing with her small child., Elisabeth Baumann, between 1837 and 1881

This large painting was never finished. The experts at bruun rasmussen gave no reason for this, but it might be because mrs. Jerichau chose to do the similarly themed an egyptian fellah woman with her baby in 1872. That would date the present work to the early 1870s. Object Type: painting. Date: between 1837 and 1881. Dimensions: height: 98 cm (38.5 in); width: 138 cm (54.3 in). Medium: oil on canvas. Collection: Unknown. Elisabeth Jerichau Baumann - En ægypterinde legende med sit lille barn
