"Griekse vrouw, afkomstig uit Andrinopel of Edirne te Thracië" (Greek Woman from Andrinople or Edirne in Thrace), is an engraving by Léon Davent, created between 1555 and 1568. The artwork depicts a woman from Thrace, Greece, standing in a full-length portrait. Her attire, featuring a richly patterned robe and a head covering, offers insight into the fashion of the period. Davent's engraving exemplifies the artistic practices of the 16th century and provides a valuable historical record of dress and custom. This artwork is a prime example of the genre of costume illustrations, popular during this period for its educational and social relevance.
