Fille Turque, qui brode, plate 52 from "Recueil de cent estampes représentent differentes nations du Levant" 1714 - 1715

"Fille Turque, qui brode," is an etching from Jean Baptiste Vanmour's "Recueil de cent estampes représentent differentes nations du Levant," a series of prints depicting the diverse peoples of the Ottoman Empire. This specific print depicts a Turkish woman seated on a cushion, engaged in embroidery. The artist, who was commissioned by the French ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, carefully captured the detail of the woman's traditional dress and the ornate furnishings of the room, contributing to a sense of realistic portrayal of life in the Levant during the early 18th century.
