"A Preferida do Sultão" (The Favorite of the Sultan) is a notable oil-on-canvas painting by the German artist Eduard Frederic Wilhelm Richter. Painted around the end of the 19th century, the artwork stands as a quintessential representation of Orientalist art, a genre that saw a surge in popularity during the 19th-century Romantic Period in Europe. The painting explores exotic, non-Western themes, influenced by fantasized visions of the East.

In the painting, Richter depicts a lavish Oriental scene of a harem. The central figure, assumed to be the sultan's favorite, is reclining on decorative Turkish ottoman, surrounded by opulent fabrics and artifacts, reflecting the perceived luxury and decadence of the Ottoman empire. The woman's sensuous posture, her semi-nudity, and her luxurious surroundings, all evoke an image of an Eastern life of languid ease and sensuality, a common theme in Orientalist art.

Richter's exceptional talent for detail is seen in his precision in showing the nuanced patterns, textures, and materials within the scene, from the intricate design of the Ottoman to the delicate rendering of the silk fabrics.

This painting is not only significant as a work of art in itself, but its representation of a romanticized and exotic Middle East, seen from a 19th-century European perspective, makes it a significant piece in the context of Orientalist art history.

While it is an excellent example of Richter's detailed style and his interest in non-western themes, it should also be viewed within the context of the larger debates around Orientalism and its portrayal of Eastern cultures.
