Description Most art museums have paintings of naked reclining women – thus the name Odalisque – but few have been as celebrated or as controversial as Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres’ Grand Odalisque. One, the scale of the painting is quite large. Two, he elongated her back by several vertebrate to, so scholars believe to add to her sensuality. Very provocative work for the time. Beautiful piece to stitch! Grand Odalisque will be an heirloom piece, treasured as you stitch and for years thereafter to grace any area of your home. Measures 11″ x 20″.
