An Egyptian Feast is an 1877 history painting by the British artist Edwin Long.[1] Long was well-known for such Orientalist works. The painting was displayed at the Royal Academy Exhibition of 1877 held at Burlington House in London, where it was popular with audiences and critics and was described as the "sensation picture of the year" by the magazine John Bull.[2] Today it is in the collection of the Cartwright Hall Art Gallery in the Yorkshire city of Bradford which acquired it in 1931.[3]
