"Gestus habitusq. in Turcia puerorum foras exeuntium; Mulier Turca cui amictui est tegmen Maurit...um; Nobilis viri vxor in Turcia ita vt domi sese continent, vestita" (1580) by Abraham de Bruyn (1540-1587) is an engraving depicting the clothing styles of people in Turkey, including children, a woman, and a man. The artwork, which was originally part of a larger book, showcases the meticulous detail and artistic skill of the artist in capturing the intricacies of the Turkish fashion of the time. This engraving serves as a valuable glimpse into the visual culture of the Ottoman Empire and demonstrates the evolving interest of European artists in documenting different cultures. This work is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York.
