Contemporary and modern historiography believed Marie-Louise O'Murphy was the very young model who posed for the "Jeune Fille allongée" ("Reclining Girl"), of François Boucher, a painting famous for its undisguised eroticism, dating from 1752. Two versions of this painting have survived, both conserved in Germany, one in the Alte Pinakothek at Munich and the other in the Wallraf-Richartz Museum at Cologne. Boucher, at the height of his fame, had made a specialty of these deliberately licentious nudes, represented in lascivious poses outside a mythological context. "La Jeune Fille allongée", also known as "l'Odalisque blonde" (the Blonde Odalisque), echoes to the also erotic "Odalisque brune" (Brown Odalisque), painted around 1745, whose several copies are kept at the Louvre or the Museum of Fine Arts, Rheims.
