"The Toilet in the Seraglio" (also known as "Interior of a Harem" or "Femmes d'Alger dans leur appartement") is an 1851 oil painting by the French Romantic artist Théodore Chassériau. Renowned for his work that often bridged the gap between the neoclassicism of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and the sensual expressionism of Eugène Delacroix, Chassériau's art frequently explored Orientalist themes, which were popular among European artists in the 19th century.

This painting is a prime example of Chassériau's engagement with Orientalism, depicting a scene set within a seraglio, the private living quarters used by the wives and concubines in an Ottoman household. The work is notable for its intimate portrayal of the domestic life of women in the harem, a subject that was both exotic and alluring to the European audience of the time. Chassériau's composition focuses on the daily ritual of grooming and beauty, capturing a moment of quietude and the intricate details of the women's attire and surroundings.

Measuring 32.5 x 40.5 cm, "The Toilet in the Seraglio" is a smaller canvas that invites the viewer into a private, enclosed space, offering a glimpse into the artist's interpretation of the mysterious world of the harem. The painting's soft lighting and the harmonious arrangement of figures reflect Chassériau's mastery in handling color and form, as well as his ability to convey a sense of tranquility and sensuality.

"The Toilet in the Seraglio" is part of Chassériau's broader body of work that contributed to the 19th-century European fascination with the Orient. It is held in high regard for its aesthetic qualities and for providing insight into the cultural perceptions of the time. The painting is housed in a prominent museum collection, continuing to attract scholarly attention and public interest for its historical and artistic significance.
