Edwin Lord Weeks (1849–1903) was an American artist who became popular for his Orientalist paintings. He trained under the artists Léon Bonnat and Jean-Léon Gérôme in Paris. Most of Weeks’ career was spent traveling throughout Eastern countries and gathering inspiration for his paintings. His travels later resulted in a book that he wrote and illustrated called From the Black Sea through Persia and India.
