The painting A Moor Robing after the Bath by the Vienna-born Orientalist painter Rudolf Ernst (1854–1932) represents two men in a bath. One man, depicted from the rear and wearing a golden-yellow garment and a white and red turban, and a second man stepping out of a water basin (Carter, 2006, pp. 26–27). In a niche on the right side of the painting, a stucco and glass window with the motif of symmetrically arranged flowers in a red and green vase is partly visible.

Ernst also depicted windows of this type, with stylized flowers symmetrically disposed in a green and red vase, in other Orientalist paintings: in Au harem (IG_153), three coloured stucco and glass windows are depicted in a recess, two of which show the motif of stylized vases of flowers. Another example is Ernst’s painting Tending the Lamp (oil on panel, 61 × 48cm, Sotheby’s (2018): The Orientalist Sale (Sale L18100), 24 April 2018, London, lot 14), where two windows with the motif of stylized flowers in a green and red vase are represented on the left side of the painting. Two stucco and glass windows with the motif of symmetrically arranged flowers in a red and green vase can be seen in a chromolithograph by Émile Prisse d’Avennes (IG_31) that, according to the caption, represents the upper room of the Cairene house of ‘Sidi Youçouf Adami’. The impact of Prisse d’Avennes’s chromolithograph cannot only be seen in works by Rudolf Ernst, but also in the painting Rüstem Pasha Mosque Istanbul by Jean-Léon Gérôme (IG_149).
