Did You Know?

The female nude seen here represented Ingres's conception of ideal beauty.

Description

Ingres executed this lithograph to reproduce and publicize an important picture that he had previously painted. However, the lithograph also represents experimentation with an unfamiliar medium, but the artist's assured draftsmanship makes the print successful.
A horizontally oriented lithograph depicts a nude woman with a light skin tone reclining, her body facing away as she turns to look over her right shoulder at the viewer. She wears a patterned turban and beaded bracelet. To her left, thick curtains hang beside a decorative incense burner. She rests on patterned cushions and draped fabric. Centered below, the text "ODALISQUE." appears in large capital letters.
