"The Harem" is a notable work by Hungarian painter Gyula Tornai, and while it does not have a specific completion date, it is known to be from the late 19th to early 20th century which aligns with the era Tornai spent in Asia studying and showcasing Orientalist practices.

Depicting a serene and detailed scene within a harem, this painting presents the women in a light-hearted and relaxed way; a departure the stereotypical representation of harem scenes in Orientalist art. A significant number of figures, bathed in warm light, are skillfully depicted in various natural poses, highlighting the artist's exclusive access to the private dwellings of women in Asia - an unusual situation for Western painters at the time.

Originally trained at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich, Tornai added vigor to Orientalist art, and "The Harem" is a prime example that denotes his individualistic addition to the genre. The painting stands as an essential document of Tornai's style and ethos, characterized by meticulous attention to atmospheric detail, use of light, and narrative richness.

As one of the pioneering Hungarian Orientalist artists, Tornai's The Harem provides viewers with rich insights into his personal style and the broader developments of Orientalist European art during this period.

The work is held in private collections, signifying its enduring appeal and the continued interest in Tornai's oeuvre and Orientalist movement within the realm of art history. It is key to note, however, that the discussion about its interpretation and significance is ongoing among art historians, as is the case with many Orientalist works.
