Paul-Louis Bouchard was a born-and-bred Parisian, Bouchard was famous for his Orientalist paintings of nymphs and nudes in Turkish harems. He also painted views of Moscow and French landscapes. The exotic public baths, known as hammams, captured Bouchard's imagination. To wash and to purify oneself is a religious obligation in Muslim countries, both for men and for women and each town and nearly every village had at least one hamman. The baths fascinated the Orientalists and moved their imaginations to create numerous paintings depicting them.
