"Haremsdame" is a 1929 painting by Nasreddine Dinet, a French Orientalist painter. The artwork depicts a woman of the harem, likely of North African origin, sitting on a platform and scattering roses. The woman's ornate jewelry and clothing, as well as the luxurious setting with ornate drapery, suggest her high status within the harem. Dinet's work is characterized by its detailed portrayal of Islamic culture and his romanticized view of the Eastern world, which was a popular theme in Orientalist art.
