" Le Grande Odalisque, 1814 " by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres

Only an odalisque, a personal chambermaid to the concubines in a Turkish harem, of exceptional beauty could rise through the ranks to be presented to the sultan. Ingres fed the 19th century's hunger for the fantasy of Orientalism with his subject's risque pose, coloring and demeanor. The authentic stretched canvas replica captures the original painting's texture, depth of color, and even its brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. It is surrounded by an imported, antique gold-toned, delicately sculpted 4" wide designer resin frame with a leaf motif. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding.
