Studieblad met zittende vrouw en kinderen, te Dereköy in Turkije 1814 - 1860

This watercolor sketch, *Studie* *blad* *met* *zittende* *vrouw* *en* *kinderen*, *te* *Dereköy* *in* *Turkije*, by French artist Auguste Raffet, depicts a group of Turkish women and children in traditional dress. The artist, who is known for his depictions of military scenes and the daily life of common people, created this sketch during his travels through Turkey. Raffet captures the details of the clothing and the expressions of his subjects with loose but expressive lines. This is a typical example of his work, which often captures the essence of a scene or subject with a minimal amount of detail.
