Arab Woman is a watercolor painting by American artist John Singer Sargent, created c. 1905-1906. It is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York.^[1]

Prominent American painter John Singer Sargent took two notable trips to the Middle East during his lifetime; the first trip was to Greece, Egypt, and Turkey in 1890, while the second was to the-then Ottoman provinces of Syria and Palestine in 1905. These trips spurred Sargent to create a number of works of art concerning various subjects.^[1]

Arab Woman was produced by Sargent during his one of his travels in the Middle East. The image, done in watercolor and gouache on woven white paper, depicts a veiled Muslim woman wearing a white niqāb. According to an inscription left by Sargent on the painting, the work is incomplete.^[1]
