The new genre of fêtes galantes ('courtship parties'), created by
the French Academy for Watteau, and the 18th century aristocratic
taste for exoticism and Orientalism are strong influences on this
painting, the theme of which has sometimes been termed Turquerie
galante. This painting of an Orientalist fantasy features a voluptuous
female nude and a man in oriental dress. Both models recall
François Boucher's chinoiserie paintings.
