"Reclining Odalisque" (also known as "Femme couchée ou Odalisque") is an oil painting by the French Romantic artist Eugène Delacroix, created around 1827-1828. The work is a quintessential example of the odalisque theme, which was popular among European artists, particularly in the 19th century. An odalisque was a member of a harem, and the term itself became synonymous with an exoticized and eroticized image of a reclining woman, often depicted in a state of languid repose or sensual undress.

Delacroix, known for his expressive brushwork and bold use of color, brings a dynamic and sensuous quality to the subject. The painting features a woman lying on her side, her body draped with loose, flowing garments that reveal as much as they conceal. Her pose and the intimate setting suggest a private moment, inviting the viewer into a world of private contemplation and exotic fantasy.

The "Reclining Odalisque" reflects Delacroix's interest in Orientalism, a prevalent theme in European art and literature that represented the cultures of the Middle East and North Africa. This fascination was partly inspired by the artist's own travels to North Africa in 1832, which had a profound impact on his work, leading to a series of paintings that explored Orientalist themes with a vividness and authenticity that set Delacroix apart from his contemporaries.

The painting is significant not only for its subject matter but also for its stylistic contributions to the Romantic movement. Delacroix's use of color and loose brushwork would later influence the Impressionists and other modern artists. The "Reclining Odalisque" is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art institutions, contributing to the ongoing discourse on Orientalism and the representation of women in art.

This introduction provides a general overview of Eugène Delacroix's "Reclining Odalisque," its thematic context, and its place within the artist's oeuvre and the broader art historical narrative.
