This anonymous etching from 1662, titled "Femme Turc allant par la Ville," depicts a Turkish woman walking through the city. The woman is dressed in traditional Turkish clothing, including a long, flowing robe and a head scarf. In the background, ships sail on a body of water, suggesting a coastal city. The artwork provides a glimpse into the fashion and dress of 17th-century Turkey, and exemplifies European fascination with Ottoman culture during this time.
