Staande vrouw met lange jurk en doek over haar hoofd 1765

This etching by Jean-Baptiste Leprince from 1765 depicts a woman in traditional dress standing in a landscape. The woman is wearing a long robe and a head covering, likely a veil or scarf, and is looking down with her hands clasped. The artwork, part of a larger series, showcases a woman of the 18th century, possibly in Turkey, with detailed attention to her attire and posture. It’s an example of the genre of social observation and highlights the cultural interest in attire and customs of different regions during that period.
