« Smoke of Ambergris, Tangier, Morocco » by John Singer Sargent, 1879 | Haik in Morocco

It was in 1879, during his trip to the charming city of Tangier, that he produced this painting representing a woman dressed in a Haïk.

Haik is a traditional veil which has been for a long time one of the symbols of Moroccan women.

الحايك من الملابس التقليدية المغربية و كان من رموز المرأة المغربية قديما

Le haïk est un drapé traditionnel qui a longtemps été l’un des symboles de la femme marocaine.
