One remarkable painting

One remarkable painting.

Note: Gracias to Books and stilettos for providing update in comments: "This is "The Slave Market" by Jean-Léon Gérôme, painted in 1866: It depicts a scene in the Middle East or North Africa, the Barbary slave trade. It is an example of 19th-century Orientalist art. His paintings are located at the Clark Art Institute in Williamstown. I have seen another one where a guy is checking a nude woman’s teeth like we do for bakras on eid hahaha his work is fascinating!"
