This Orientalist painting, executed in watercolor and gouache on paper or board, is identified by a handwritten label on the verso as the work of Austin Carter. The composition depicts a young woman seated on a patterned divan in an interior setting. She is dressed in a jeweled headdress, multiple necklaces, and a colorful sash over a white skirt. She holds a peacock feather fan, and her red slippers are placed on the floor in the foreground. The interior includes patterned walls, a tiled base to the divan, and a small inlaid side table with a box. The artwork is housed in a gilded frame with a gold-toned mat featuring an arched opening. The reverse of the wooden support panel bears a paper label inscribed: No - 2 / L'Odalisque - - - Sold £ 26.5 / painted by / Miss Austin Carter / 45 Cornhill E.C. A large X and the number 536 are marked in white chalk on the wooden backing.
