Erotic painting with a classical theme was all the rage in the late 19th century - these pictures were copied in early erotic photographs as we can see here.

The pictures are the Harem bath & A favourite Custom - you can see how the photographer tried to follow the idea of what was acceptable to a gentleman at the time
