Harem Scene n.d.

Francesco Guardi's "Harem Scene" is a red chalk drawing depicting a group of women dancing in a room. The artist was famous for his Venetian landscapes, but his subject matter here is more intimate. It showcases Guardi's mastery of line and his ability to capture movement through loose, expressive strokes. The figures are stylized and elongated, their poses suggesting a lively and sensual atmosphere. The drawing is housed at the Art Institute of Chicago and stands as a testament to Guardi's versatile artistic abilities.
