Odalisque

Odalisque at her toilette by the Austrian painter Eugen Ansen-Hofmann (1862-1955).

Western Odalisque

Odalisque (1933) by the great American artist Howard Chandler Christy (1873-1952). It's obvious that Christy was much more influenced by actual American night life than by oriental fantasies.

Sweet Harem Girls

Two Oriental Ladies (1854) by the Belgian painter Nicaise de Keyser (1813-1887).

Odalisque

An Odalisque by the Croatian art nouveau painter Blaise Vlaho Bukovac (1855-1922) who was specialized in orientalist subjects.

Pulp Odalisque

Here another example by Robert McGinnis. It shows not only his passion for endless legs but also a kind of modern interpretation of 19th century orientalist paintings.

Harem Beauty

A Harem Beauty (1899) by the Spanish painter Francisco Masriera y Manovens (1842-1902). Masriera y Manovens was specialized in historical and oriental subjects, his main issue was something exotic.

Odalisca

Odalisca (1862) by the Italian painter Luigi Mussini (1813-1888). Despite it’s already in the fashion of orientalism it’s still a very neoclassical painting.

Harem Dancer

Another of these kitschy harem dancers by the Austrian painter Hans Zatzka (1859-1945).

An Odalisque

Odalisque (1885) by the Spanish painter César Alvarez-Dumont (1866-1945). Looks like she’s having there a good time in the harem. Good work anyway.

Harem Bather

After the Bath (1889) by the French painter Pierre-Louis Bouchard (1831-1889). In my humble opinion one of the hottest odalisques of the 19th century.

Odalisque

Odalisque (1880) by the Austrian painter Franz Lefler (1831-1898). Leffler was strongly influenced by Hans Makart and the Egyptian fashion of the time.

Picking the Favourite

Picking the Favourite by the Italian orientalist painter Giulio Rosati (1858-1917). A typical male dream so beloved by the Orientalists. Three nude female slaves were presented to the buyer. It’s also a kind of orientalist judgement of Paris.

Reclined Odalisque

A reclined odalisque waiting for her sheik by the French painter Léon-François Comerre (1850-1916).

Odalisque

Another odalisque by the Brazilian painter Oscar Pereira da Silva (1867-1939). It’s easy to see that many artists from Latin America studied in Europe and received their the typical academic training.

Romantic Odalisque

Odalisque (1857) by the French painter Ferdinand Victor Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863). Delacroix is regarded as the leader of the French Romantic school and had a big influence on the later Impressionists. He painted various odalisques which emphasizes his interest in exotic and oriental subjects.

Odalisque

An Odalisque French painter Jules Joseph Lefebvre (1836-1911).

Slave Market

Slave market (1866) by the French painter Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904).

Despite all "realism" I'm sure that Gérôme never had seen a scene like this. The examination of the teeth is a nice detail but pure fantasy. A buyer of young women wouldn't have been very interested in her teeth.

Harem Bath

Another fantastic harem scene by the Austrian painter Hans Zatzka (1859-1945). Aodalisque is preparing her bath.

A Tired Femme Fatale

Albayde (1848) by the French painter Alexandre Cabanel (1823-1889).

It's a nearly perfect drawn picture. The name is taken from Orientalist poem and refers to an odalisque. Cabanel shows this lethargic and content figure as an object of visual pleasure.
She is lazy, seductive but also dangerous, she's a real femme fatale.

Oriental Beauty

An "Oriental Beauty" by serial producer Luis Ricardo Falero (1851-1896).

Maybe the ribbon signifies that she's a present?
