"A Sultana, Reclining On A Cushion, Playing A Lute" is an 18th-century oil painting by the French artist Carle van Loo (1705–1765). As a prominent painter of his time, van Loo was known for his portraits, historical and mythological themes, and was appointed First Painter to King Louis XV of France. This particular work is notable for its representation of an orientalist theme, which was popular among European artists during this period.

The painting depicts a sultana, or a female sultan, in a moment of leisure and musical enjoyment. She is portrayed reclining on a richly adorned cushion, her body turned towards the viewer as she plays a lute with a serene expression. The sultana's attire and the surrounding objects reflect the European fascination with the exotic and luxurious East, a fascination that often manifested in artistic works of the time as a romanticized and sometimes inaccurate portrayal of Eastern cultures.

Carle van Loo's mastery of form and color is evident in the intricate details of the sultana's clothing, the textures of the fabrics, and the interplay of light and shadow across the composition. The painting is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the grace and elegance of his subject while also engaging with the broader cultural currents of orientalism that influenced many artists of the Rococo period.

"A Sultana, Reclining On A Cushion, Playing A Lute" is a significant work within Carle van Loo's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of European artistic engagement with the East during the 18th century. It remains an important piece for scholars studying the intersection of art, culture, and orientalism, as well as for those interested in the broader history of Rococo art.
