About the piece
Painted in 1876, Jean-Joseph Benjamin-Constant’s 'The Serbian Concubine' is a quintessential example of late 19th-century Orientalist drama. The composition depicts a central figure in magnificent velvet and gold-embroidered attire reclining amidst decorative textiles, a polished shield, and ornate metalwork, while the shadowy, star-flecked interior emphasizes the artist's expertise in light and shadow.
