"Afriquaine, en deshabillé" is an etching from the 18th century by French artist Jean-Baptiste Vanmour. This print is part of a larger collection of 100 engravings depicting the people and cultures of the Levant region. In this particular image, a woman wearing traditional clothing and jewelry stands in an interior setting, likely a room in her home. Vanmour captures the detail of her clothing and her pose, showcasing the diversity of cultures and styles in the region. The piece is a valuable resource for understanding the history of fashion and the lives of people in the Levant during the early 18th century.
