"Odalisque au Tambourin" is a painting by Édouard Frédéric Wilhelm Richter (1844–1913), a French painter known for his Orientalist and genre works. The term "odalisque" refers to a female slave or concubine in a harem, particularly within the context of the Ottoman Empire, and was a popular subject in 19th-century European art, reflecting the fascination with Orientalism and the exotic.

The painting depicts a reclining odalisque, adorned in lavish textiles and jewelry, which reflects the European romanticized view of Eastern luxury and indolence. She is shown with a tambourine, which adds a musical element to the scene, suggesting not only visual but also auditory sensuality. The use of the tambourine may also imply a performance or dance, which were common themes associated with Orientalist perceptions of Middle Eastern culture.

Richter's work is characterized by meticulous attention to detail, rich coloration, and a polished finish, all of which are evident in "Odalisque au Tambourin." His portrayal of the female figure demonstrates both an idealization of feminine beauty and an attention to ethnographic detail, a duality that often appears in Orientalist art of the period.

The painting is a quintessential example of European Orientalism, a movement that has since been critiqued for its exoticization and often eroticized portrayal of Eastern cultures. As such, "Odalisque au Tambourin" serves as both an artifact of artistic skill and a historical document reflecting the attitudes and perceptions of its time.

While the painting is a notable work within Richter's oeuvre, it also contributes to the broader discourse on Orientalism in art history, offering insight into the ways Western artists represented and interpreted the East during the 19th century. It remains an important piece for study in both art history and postcolonial theory, providing a window into the complexities of cultural representation and the power dynamics at play in artistic production.
