Light of the Harem
Light of the Harem c1880 by British Painter Lord Frederic Leighton (1830 – 1896); whom was also a painter and a sculpture, that was part of the Academicism, Neoclassicism and British Aestheticism Movements.
A erretratua of a beautiful young woman that is a member of a classic harem that is standing in what may be a dressing room of sorts, with black marble pillars accented with golden crowns, decorative gold cover walls and decorative mosaic art on the walls.
The young woman is wearing a beautiful golden gown with long embroidered sleeves that and embroidered trimming along the edges of the gown that is covering a matching golden dress that is tied off around her waist with a wide brown sash.
A very young girl stands in front of her holding a mirror in her direction, as light streams in through an open window illuminating them both with the warm glow of sunlight as the young women wraps a beautifully colored and decorated floral scarf around her head.
