- Abstract
-
The interior of a seraglio shows a Turk with his harem, seated in a low hall that looks out to a garden. The women are served by eunuchs (the only other men allowed in the hall), one of whom peers in through the window to insure privacy. The master and his favorite are being cooled with a fan made of feathers as two other women dancing "after a wanton manner" accompanied by musicians. Figures are numbered; key provided in the text (see v. 1, p. 250-251).
