De Turken in hunne huishouding 1865 - 1875

"De Turken in hunne huishouding" (The Turks in their household) is a lithograph by Dutch artist George Lodewijk Funke, created between 1865 and 1875. The image depicts a series of scenes depicting Turkish daily life, from a man riding a horse to a group of men in traditional clothing. Funke's work, characteristic of the mid-19th century, captures the popular fascination with foreign cultures, often featuring exotic details and a sense of the picturesque. This print, part of a larger series "Nieuwe Nederlandsche Kinderprenten" (New Dutch Children's Prints), showcases Funke's talent for depicting life in a foreign culture with both accuracy and a touch of whimsy, aimed at a young audience.
