This painting was done around the same time I painted KASBAH when my mind was wrapped around the Arab culture, architecture, art and poetry which is quite beautiful. 

A HAREM is controversial for Westerners, so here is what AI says:

A harem is traditionally the private quarters for women in a Muslim household, including wives, female relatives, and servants, but the term also refers to the women themselves and, in popular culture, a group of women associated with one man.

Historically, harems were secluded areas in palaces and homes, serving as family centers, while in nature, it describes a group of females gathered by one male. The concept, originating in the ancient Near East, evolved with Islam, but Western depictions often differ from reality, focusing more on fantasy than the actual private, social, and sometimes political functions of harems.
