Reclining Odalisque is a black and white photograph taken by English photographer Roger Fenton, in 1858. It is a staged photograph, part of the series that the artist dedicated to the recreation of exotic inspired scenes of the Middle East. Gordon Baldwin considers this "one of the very best of his Orientalist pictures, transcending the limits of the genre to produce a touching and vulnerable portrait of the woman".
