Odalisque is a 1825 ink by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, a Romanticism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
In the image, a nude woman reclines on a couch, her body turned to face the viewer. She wears a headscarf and a bracelet on her right wrist. Her left hand rests on her leg, while her right arm is extended behind her. The woman's pose is relaxed, with her weight shifted onto her left side. The couch is adorned with ornate pillows and a patterned blanket. In the background, a curtain hangs from the ceiling, partially obscuring the view.
