This 18th-century porcelain figurine, crafted by the Meissen Manufactory, depicts a Turkish woman in elaborate attire. Part of a pair, the figure is notable for its detailed craftsmanship and the depiction of Turkish dress, a popular theme in European art at the time. The figure, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, stands as a testament to Meissen's skill in producing intricate and historically-inspired porcelain sculptures.
