"Prayer in Cairo" is an orientalist painting by the French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme, completed in 1865. The work is a quintessential example of Gérôme's fascination with Middle Eastern culture and his adeptness at depicting ethnographic detail, which was a hallmark of the Orientalist movement in 19th-century European art. The painting portrays a group of Muslim men in the act of prayer, capturing a moment of religious devotion within the urban landscape of Cairo, Egypt.

The composition of "Prayer in Cairo" is notable for its meticulous attention to the accurate representation of Islamic prayer rituals and the architectural elements of the city. Gérôme's work is characterized by its photographic realism and the artist's skill in rendering textures and light. The painting's subjects are shown in various stages of the prayer sequence, with some standing, bowing, or prostrated, which adds to the authenticity and dynamic quality of the scene.

Gérôme's travels to Egypt and his studies of its people and customs provided him with the visual material necessary to create such detailed and convincing scenes. "Prayer in Cairo" is part of a larger body of work by Gérôme that helped define European perceptions of the East during this period. The painting is often discussed in the context of Orientalism and its complex legacy, as it reflects both a genuine interest in and an exoticized view of Eastern cultures.

"Prayer in Cairo" is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its contribution to the Orientalist genre. It is frequently exhibited and studied as an example of how Western artists interpreted and represented the East during the 19th century. The painting is housed in a prominent museum collection, continuing to attract scholarly attention and public interest for its artistic and historical significance.
