Entering the Harem is a 1870 oil by Georges Clairin, a Orientalism work, depicting Harem, held at Walters Art Museum.
This painting shows a man in a white robe entering a room. He's holding a sword and has a fancy belt around his waist. There are other people in the room, some standing and some sitting. The room has a big, fancy door with gold designs on it. There's a rug on the floor and a curtain hanging from the ceiling. The man in the white robe is the main focus of the painting. He's wearing a lot of fancy clothes and jewelry. The other people in the room are dressed in simpler clothes. The room itself is very fancy, with lots of gold and colorful decorations.
