        Dancing Odalisque
        	oil painting on canvas

        	The unfinished character of the work could easily be assimilated to the studies (preludes to orientalist paintings) that Morelli used to perform in the 1880s, imagining Turkish or Egyptian harems and streets where he actually never went.
