Verified profile

The painting was exhibited at the exhibition dedicated to the collections of the Frugone brothers in the Palazzo Bianco in 1938. Here the preference for orientalist themes is evident, as evidenced by the choice of the subject, comparable to the series of girls in the harem or to the various odalisques depicted in paintings such as The Turkish Bath and A Woman of the Oda, both from 1876, or in the pen drawing Odalisque. The small figure lying on the orange carpet (a color very dear to the artist) is outlined by a summary line that summarizes the lights, shadows and outlines. The strongly emotional impact, desired by the painter, is also achieved through the chromatic choices, such as the white of the sheet that wraps the girl, further enhanced by the complementarity of the blue of the cushion and the orange of the background.
