In the harem is a 1918 tempera by Vardges Sureniants, a Orientalism work, depicting Girl, held at National Gallery of Armenia.
This painting shows a young girl sitting on a colorful rug in a courtyard. She wears a white dress and a headscarf. There's a small tree in the corner, and a low wall behind her with some greenery. The girl looks serious and a bit sad. The artist used tempera to create this painting, which gives it a soft, almost dreamy quality. The colors are muted, with lots of greens and browns.
