"Avond te Benares" (Evening in Benares) is an etching by the Dutch artist Marius Bauer (1867–1932), known for his orientalist works. Created in 1928, this piece reflects Bauer's fascination with the exotic and spiritual allure of the East, a theme prevalent throughout his oeuvre. The etching depicts a serene evening scene in the city of Benares (Varanasi), a sacred city on the banks of the Ganges River in India, which has long been a destination for pilgrims and a subject of artistic inspiration.

Bauer, who was a member of the Amsterdam-based art society Arti et Amicitiae, traveled extensively through the Middle East and Asia, capturing the essence of these regions in his art. His travels influenced his artistic style, which is characterized by a blend of realism and mysticism, with a particular emphasis on the play of light and shadow. "Avond te Benares" is a testament to Bauer's skill in etching, a medium that allowed him to achieve a high level of detail and atmospheric effect.

The work is notable for its intricate depiction of the architecture and the bustling life along the Ganges, as well as the spiritual ambiance of the evening rituals. Bauer's use of perspective and composition in "Avond te Benares" draws the viewer into the scene, offering a glimpse into the daily life and religious practices in Benares during the early 20th century.

"Avond te Benares" is held in high regard for its artistic merit and as a representation of orientalist art in the Netherlands. It is part of various art collections and has been exhibited in museums that showcase Bauer's work and the broader context of orientalism in European art.
