The Turkish Bath was an 1862 erotic painting by the Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, showing nude women in a harem. Ingres did not paint this work from live models, but from several croquis and paintings he had produced over the course of his career, re-using 'bather' and 'odalisque' figures (he had earlier produced La Grande Odalisque) he had previously drawn or painted as single figures on a bed or beside a bath. The figure best known to have been copied is from his The Bather of Valpinçon, reproduced here almost identically and forming the central element of the new composition. The figure with her arms raised above her head in the right foreground, however, is based on an 1818 croquis of the artist's wife Madeleine Chapelle (1782-1849), though her right shoulder is lowered whereas her right arm is raised (an anatomical inconsistency usual in Ingres's work - La Grande Odalisque has three additional vertebrae). The other bodies are juxtaposed in various unlit areas behind them. It is now in the Louvre.
