Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres depicting an odalisque, or concubine. As Ingres never visited the Near East, "Odalisque with Slave" depicts an imaginary scene. Her pose is reminiscent of harem scenes and odalisque. One of the most famous was "The Grande Odalisque" painted by Ingres in 1814. The cover of the book features the famous painting "La Grande Odalisque" by Ingres. Comparison is also made to Ingres' "Grande Odalisque" (1814). The odalisque was painted from a life drawing Ingres had made years earlier. She struggled and grew as an Odalisque in the popular ballet "Scheherazade". The gentlemen who wish to buy an odalisque or a wife, make their offers. They belong to the odalisque genre. It also showed the left arm of the odalisque is shorter than the right. The Grand Odalisque, finished in 1814, was created to arouse the male view. "Grande Odalisque" attracted wide criticism when it was first shown. She also played an Odalisque in the same ballet. His Odalisque paintings were inspired by his trip to Morocco.
