Augustus: een paar uit Turkije 1604 - 1670

Crispijn van de Passe (II) created the etching *Augustus: een paar uit Turkije* between 1604 and 1670. It is a portrait of a Turkish couple, likely nobles, who stand with a building and a boat visible in the background. The man is wearing a turban and the woman a headscarf. They are both wearing elaborate clothing which are common depictions of Turkish fashion in the 17th century. The etching, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a glimpse into the cultural exchanges of the time.
