Here, Lady Hawarden gives her drawing room a tent-like atmosphere.\r\n\r\nSuch scenes were popularised by the painter J. F. Lewis, and Roger Fenton exhibited his photographic ‘Nubian Series’ in 1859. Dodier writes that the idea of 'Orientalism' allowed European artists to ‘evoke sensuality on the premise of presenting quasi-ethnographical information about the customs of the East’.\r\n\r\nThe idea of the fancy dress or allegorical portrait stems from an earlier tradition in English art. They are found, for example, in the work of the painter Sir Joshua Reynolds (1723–92).","physicalDescription":"Sepia photograph, mounted on green card, showing two young women  in fancy dress, one standing and the other reclining.\r\n\r\n5 Princes Gardens, interior: first floor, front: screen (with drape): Isabella Grace, eyes closed, standing, hands clasped, and Clementina, eyes closed, seated on draped divan, legs crossed, right hand on throat, resting head on screen.
