Een roeiboot met vrouwen van een pasja 1837

"Een roeiboot met vrouwen van een pasja" (A rowing boat with women of a pasha), a lithograph by Auguste Raffet from 1837, depicts a scene of a pasha's women being transported across a body of water. The composition features a group of women in a rowboat, with the pasha's entourage on horseback in the background. The detail of the women's clothing and the horses in the foreground conveys the richness of the pasha's lifestyle. The artwork, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, reflects Raffet's interest in depicting the exotic and the everyday aspects of life in the Ottoman Empire.
