This print probably depicts a moment from Act II, which is set on the terrace of the hero Achmet's palace, which offers a view of Cairo. The women of Achmet's harem, jealous of his favorite slave Leila (who is a peri or Middle Eastern fairy in disguise), attempt to win back his favor by the superiority of their dancing.
