Jean-Leon Gerome was a leading figure in French Academicism and peerless in many forms of painting, whether history, portraiture, or Orientalist scenes. Here Gerome depicts a young woman being washed by a Nubian slave in a bath decorated with elegant Arab calligraphy, all rendered with the artist’s magnificent brush technique. This colorful Mixed-Media tableau is well suited for traditional and modern decorating and luxury Perry Street condos.
