"The Sultan's Favourite" is an orientalist painting by French artist Léon François Comerre (1850–1916), known for his academic style and depictions of exotic and mythological subjects. Created during the late 19th or early 20th century, a period when European artists were fascinated by the Middle East and North Africa, the painting reflects the romanticized view of the region prevalent at the time. It portrays an opulent scene within a harem, where a young woman, presumably the sultan's favorite concubine, is depicted in luxurious surroundings, indicative of her status and the sultan's favor.

Comerre's work is characterized by its vivid coloration, meticulous detail, and the sensual portrayal of its subject, which was typical of the Orientalist genre. "The Sultan's Favourite" exemplifies the artist's skill in capturing the textures of fabrics and the interplay of light and shadow, contributing to the overall allure and romantic atmosphere of the painting.

The painting is a testament to the cultural exchange and the complex relationship between the West and the East during the colonial period. While it may be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and technical mastery, "The Sultan's Favourite" also serves as a historical document, reflecting the Western perceptions and fantasies of Eastern cultures at the turn of the century. As with many Orientalist works, the painting has been subject to critique and reevaluation in the context of postcolonial studies, which examine the power dynamics and stereotypes embedded in such artistic representations.

"The Sultan's Favourite" by Léon François Comerre is a notable example of Orientalist art and continues to be studied for its artistic merit as well as its cultural and historical implications. The painting is part of a larger body of work by Comerre, who was a celebrated artist of his time, receiving numerous awards and honors, including the prestigious Prix de Rome in 1875. His works are displayed in various museums and collections around the world, contributing to the ongoing discourse on Orientalism in art history.
