Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres - Odalisque with a Slave - 1842
Walters Art Museum, Baltimore
This is considered Orientalist painting, depicting "the Middle East", and was one of the many specialisms of 19th-century Academic art. An Odalisque was a concubine that would be found in the sultan's harem. Ingres painted two versions of this painting. The first version is on display at the Fogg Art Museum in Cambridge, Mass. This is Ingres' second version, and the difference is the addition of the garden. Ingres made the second version with the help of two of his students, Paul and Jean-Hippolyte Flandrin. The garden was painted by Paul Flandrin, inspired by the park at the Château de Dampierre. See the original: http://bit.ly/1MAx9a6
