Moorish Woman Leaving the Bath

Moorish Woman Leaving the Bath (French: Femme mauresque sortant du bain) is an 1856 oil painting by the French artist Théodore Chassériau. Orientalist in tone, it combines element of genre painting and nude art. It depicts a young woman of the harem drying herself after a Turkish bath. It is sometimes known by the alternative title Interior of a Harem, a title also given to a painting Chassériau produced earlier in the decade. It has been in the collection of the Louvre since, but has been on long-term loan to the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Strasbourg.
