This series of transfer lithographs made between 1926 and 1929 carries the approach seen in the earlier Arabesque print even further. On a much larger scale, odalisques now appear as playful contortionists closely cropped by the edges of the paper and visually constricted within tightly spaced interiors. The arabesque decoration heightens the sense of compressed space. In this almost exaggerated scale, the broad swatches of shading do not conform to the drawn contours of the figures and decoration. Unlike histonal lithographs where shading is more defined, here it is only lightly suggested.
