Man from the Island of Kithnos (Thermia) 1700 - 1737

"Man from the Island of Kithnos (Thermia)" is an oil on canvas portrait painting created by Jean Baptiste Vanmour between 1700 and 1737. The painting depicts a man from the island of Kithnos, Greece, standing in a simple pose, dressed in traditional Greek garb, with a red fez, blue jacket, red breeches, and fur-trimmed sleeves. The painting is considered a valuable example of Vanmour's portraiture style and an important document of Greek dress and culture during the Ottoman period. It offers a glimpse into the everyday lives and appearances of people living on the island of Kithnos in the early 18th century.
