Darian Lajoie. Harem; 16x13 inches ( framed); 2015; encaustic. SOLD Inspired by Montesquieu’s The Persian Letters, this piece represents the colourful, rich, and secluded world of a Turkish seraglio, or harem, as imagined by eighteenth century Europeans. A swirl of reds, marigold, green and purples, the encaustic paint conveys the sheer quality of silken drapes, and hangings, rich pillows, and sheer gowns.
