Massage in the Harem

The Massage in the Harem (1883) by the French painter Édouard Debat-Ponsan (1847-1913). One of the better, means more interesting oriental paintings.

Salomé Dancing

Salomé (1932) by the Spanish painter Federico Beltrán Massés (1885-1949). Kind of an Art Deco interpretation. Because there’s no head to be seen, it must be the moment when she’s still dancing, putting down the veils.

A Study

One of these wonderful studies by the Scottish artist William Russell Flint (1880 - 1969). So easily done and so perfect.

Beautiful Slave to Sale

A slave on the market by the Brazilian painter Oscar Pereira da Silva (1867-1939). The sign between her breasts announces that she’s a virgin, but she doesn’t seem scared more curious and defying.

Elegant Art Deco Nude

Reclining nude by the French Art Deco painter Jean-Gabriel Domergue (1889-1962). Domergue painted such elegant women that it’s more about style than about erotic, which also can be the same.

A Goddess

Flora (1559) by the Flemish painter Jan Massys (1509-1575). One of my personal theories is, that Massys mostly painted the same girl, but she must have been something of gorgeous…

Dark Lady

Alice Joyce (1920) a magazine cover illustration by the famous American artist Rolf Armstrong (1889-1960). Armstrong became famous for his pin ups, but this mysterious lady is much better.

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.

Never Ending Legs

Never Ending Legs by the great American artist Robert McGinnis (born 1926) grand master of leg paintings.

Puppet Master

The woman and the puppet (1927) by the Belgian painter Jean Leon Henri Gouweloos (1865-1943). For a gorgeous nude men are not much more than puppets.

Tropic Evening

Tropic Evening by the Italian American artist John LaGatta (1894-1977). La Gatta was famous for his glamour girls from the 20s through the early 40s, published in fashion and women's magazines.

Green Lady

Nue allongée sur un canapé - Sonia Speranza (c.1915) by the French painter Paul-César Helleu (1859-1927), who was famous for his women portraits.
