The painting depicts an interior view of a seraglio, a term used to describe the sequestered living quarters used by wives and concubines in an Ottoman household. The focal point of the artwork is the "almee," a term referring to a female dancer or singer in the Middle East, performing a traditional dance. Ziem's use of rich colors and dynamic composition brings the scene to life, emphasizing the exotic and opulent atmosphere of the setting.

Ziem's travels to the Ottoman Empire and other parts of the Mediterranean greatly influenced his work, allowing him to capture the essence of these regions with authenticity and detail. His ability to convey the play of light and shadow, along with his attention to architectural and cultural details, is evident in this painting. The intricate patterns and textures of the costumes and surroundings highlight Ziem's skill in rendering complex scenes with precision and flair.
