Inner courtyard of an Indian harem. It depicts Zuleika - Potiphar's wife in Indian legend - introducing Joseph to her fellow women who are busy peeling oranges. Their expressions and movements reflect their astonishment at the beauty of the Israelite slave. One of the women drops her knife in surprise. Facsimile (chromolithograph) after an Indian-Perich miniature painting douring the Mughal period from the book "Le Costume Historique (Historical Costume)", published by Albert Charles Auguste Racinet, Libraire Firmin-Didot et Cie, Paris, in 1888.
