About this work

The painting is called "Interior of a Harem" by Preziosi. It's from 1851 and made with watercolour. The artist likely used models to recreate this scene, which is interesting because he wouldn't normally be allowed to see a harem. He might have based it on a visit to a Turkish friend's house.
