"Odalisque"

"Lexi"- the half boxer, half English Bulldog, I had the pleasure of painting! 
The way this dog was laying on the couch reminded me of "Grande Odalisque", also known as Une Odalisque or La Grande Odalisque, an oil painting of 1814 by Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres depicting an odalisque, or concubine. Ingres' contemporaries considered the work to signify Ingres' break from Neoclassicism, indicating a shift toward exotic Romanticism. Can't you see the resemblance :) HA!
