Legend:

Interior Court of a Women's Palace in India:  A facsimile of a painting representing Joseph and Zuléïka, the woman of Putiphar, which, having spoken to the women of her house of the vivid beauty of Joseph, presents him so that they can judge by themselves. These women, occupied by peeling the oranges, are struck by the beauty of the young man; one of them even dropped  her peeling knife. This scene is one of the favorite topics of the Indian painters, which they often treat in their works of art. (The original of this miniature is part of the library of M. Ambroise Firmin-Didot.)
