 A typical scene may be a depiction of white slavery in which one or several nude female slaves are displayed before an audience of men at a slave market.The archetypal example of this type of scene is Jean-Léon Gérôme's "The Slave Market", in which a nude female slave is examined by a potential buyer.Another example is Gérôme's "Phryné devant l'Areopage" ("Phryne before the Areopagus", 1861) which was based on the trial of Phryne before the Areopagus in ancient Greece.
