"Odalisque au Narghile" is an orientalist painting by French artist Léon François Comerre (1850–1916), created in the late 19th or early 20th century, during a period when European artists were fascinated by the exotic allure of the Middle East and North Africa. Comerre, known for his academic style and depictions of beautiful women, captures in this work the romanticized vision of a reclining odalisque—a female slave or concubine in a harem—engaging with a narghile, or water pipe, which was a common trope in Orientalist art.

The painting is characterized by its rich color palette, intricate textiles, and the detailed rendering of the narghile, reflecting the artist's meticulous attention to the decorative elements associated with the perceived opulence of the East. The odalisque's pose and the sensuous curves of her body are typical of the Orientalist genre, which often focused on the female form as a subject of both aesthetic and erotic contemplation.

"Odalisque au Narghile" exemplifies Comerre's skill in portraiture and his ability to infuse his subjects with a sense of luxury and idyllic repose. The artwork contributes to the broader cultural phenomenon of Orientalism, which has been critically examined for its idealized and often inaccurate portrayal of Eastern societies, as well as its role in perpetuating colonialist attitudes.

As a notable work within Comerre's oeuvre and the Orientalist movement, "Odalisque au Narghile" continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as a historical artifact of its time. The painting is part of the collection of the Dahesh Museum of Art in New York, which specializes in 19th- and early 20th-century European academic art, and it has been featured in exhibitions that explore the complexities and legacies of Orientalist art.
