Harem nude (c. 1910)
Orientalist inspiration in today's wallpaper of a harem nude by Georges Antoine Rochegrosse (1859-1938), one of a number of harem style nudes he produced. There is an Algerian link to Rochegrosse, as well, as he spent his winters there and utilised source material from there for many of his paintings.
Rochegrosse also produced this wonderfully spirited painting called The Heroes of Marathon, which certainly makes up in energy what it lacks in accurate phalanx depiction.
