"Orientalische Haremsszene" (English: "Oriental Harem Scene") is a painting by the Austrian artist Stephan Sedlacek (1868–1936), known for his genre works and depictions of orientalist themes. Sedlacek, a member of the Vienna Secession, often drew inspiration from the Near East, a region that held a particular fascination for many European artists during the 19th and early 20th centuries due to its perceived exoticism and sensuality.

The painting "Orientalische Haremsszene" is emblematic of Sedlacek's oeuvre, showcasing his skill in capturing the opulence and decadence associated with the orientalist imagination. It typically features a composition with one or more figures, often women, in an interior setting that is richly decorated with textiles, tiles, and ornamental objects that suggest a luxurious and secluded harem.

Sedlacek's work is characterized by meticulous attention to detail, vibrant color palettes, and a certain theatricality in staging. His portrayal of light and texture contributes to the overall atmosphere of the scene, which is often imbued with a sense of stillness and contemplation. The figures in his paintings, while sometimes engaged in everyday activities, also tend to exude an air of mystery and allure, reflecting the Western stereotypes and fantasies about Eastern cultures during the period.

"Orientalische Haremsszene" reflects the broader cultural phenomenon of Orientalism, a term popularized by the scholar Edward Said in his 1978 book of the same name, which critiques the West's patronizing representations and perceptions of Eastern societies. Sedlacek's painting, like many orientalist works, can be seen as a product of its time, offering insight into the complex dynamics of cultural exchange and the impact of colonialism on artistic expression.

While the exact date of creation for "Orientalische Haremsszene" is not well-documented, Sedlacek's active period as an artist suggests that the work likely dates from the late 19th to early 20th century. The painting is part of a larger body of orientalist art that continues to be studied and reevaluated for its artistic merit as well as its cultural implications. As with many works of its genre, "Orientalische Haremsszene" may be housed in a museum or private collection, and it contributes to the ongoing discourse on the representation of the East in Western art history.
