Paintings of harems or a single harem girl
were often popular in the saloons of the Old West. The ultimate male
fantasy, these paintings depicted rich Persian dynasties filled with the
beautiful women of the royal harem, surrounded by velvets and gold, who
were smiling and eager to serve their master. Due to the writings of
explorers, American men imagined a harem as a top-of-the-line bordello
with half-clad women laying around pools or spas, their bodies oiled,
glistening with jewels, and rich fabrics. With a pouting smile on their
lips, their sole purpose was to please the powerful man for whom they had
given themselves for service.
