 The odalisque (harem scene) was also a popular subject for depicting one-sided female nudity, although the clothed figures in the scene were not always male.Outside of the Orientalist style, a scenario for one-sided female nudity in 19th-century art was the knight-errant, in which the damsel in distress was used to explore the erotic subtext of the powerful knight coming to the rescue of a helpless woman.The best known example of this is John Everett Millais' painting "Knight Errant", in which a nude woman has been tied to a tree and a knight is shown cutting her loose.
