About the piece

Created around 1850 by Georges Croegaert, this painting is a masterclass in the European Orientalist style. The work showcases extraordinary detail in the shimmering silk of the woman's gown and the complex textures of the surrounding carpets and tapestries, creating an atmosphere of luxury and romantic escapism.
