In (146), another drawing done from (139A) in 1967, the servant girl is replaced by a lion.

EXAMPLES FROM 1968

"Deux Danseuses et Oriental I" 1968, (147)

This is one of many examples of Picasso working from paintings of harems and sultans. See John Frederick Lewis's "Harem" (147A) The sultan resembles "European Portrait of Shah Ismail" (148A) a 15th Century portrait by an unknown artist. Another example is the Sultan in (148B).

"Kid Slipping into a Harem Reserved for Women" etching 1968 (148)

Another harem scene "Kid Slipping into a Harem Reserved for Women" (148) has a young child similar to the babies in "The Tepidarium" of the School of Fontainbleau (152A).

Harem scenes and a sultan in this drawing (149) relate to the earlier scenes of 1967.

Woman, Bird and Oriental” 1968 (149)

“Woman, Bird and Oriental” (149) follows the source John Frederick Lewis's "Harem" (147A).

"Drawing" 1968 (150)

This Lewis painting was mixed with Gerome's “Womens' Bath at Brusa” (152B) which was also reproduced in the Ingres book, for the models of Picasso's "Drawing" (150).
