"Harem Women" (also known as "In the Harem") is a painting by French artist Benjamin Jean Joseph Constant, created in 1876. This work is an example of Orientalist art, a genre popular in the 19th century where Western artists depicted their interpretations of Eastern cultures, often characterized by exoticism and romanticism. Constant, who was a prominent figure in this movement, is known for his fascination with the Middle East and North Africa, which is vividly reflected in his artwork.

The painting "Harem Women" portrays a scene inside a harem, which is a private space in a household where women lived separately in some Islamic societies. Constant's depiction is a product of his imagination and Western fantasies about the East rather than an accurate representation of life in a harem. The artwork typically features women in luxurious and languid poses, adorned with rich textiles and surrounded by opulent decor, which was intended to appeal to the European audience's appetite for the exotic and the sensual.

Measuring at 143.5 x 180.3 cm, "Harem Women" is a large oil on canvas that showcases Constant's skillful use of color and meticulous attention to detail. The painting is noted for its intricate portrayal of textures and patterns, from the sumptuous fabrics to the ornate architectural elements. The composition and the use of light and shadow create a sense of depth and atmosphere, drawing the viewer into the secluded world of the harem.

"Harem Women" is part of a larger body of work by Constant that contributed to the Orientalist narrative, which has since been critiqued for perpetuating stereotypes and colonial attitudes. Despite this, the painting remains an important example of the Orientalist aesthetic and is studied for its artistic qualities as well as its role in the cultural history of the period.

The painting is held in various collections and has been displayed in art exhibitions dedicated to Orientalist art. It continues to be a subject of academic interest and is often discussed in the context of postcolonial studies and art history.
