Turca di mediocre conditione 1598

This 1598 woodcut by Christoph Krieger depicts a Turkish man, "of mediocre condition," wearing a long, elaborately patterned robe and a turban. The figure is depicted in profile and set within a decorative frame, common in prints of the period. The work exemplifies the growing interest in non-European cultures during the Renaissance and provides insights into fashion and societal hierarchy in Ottoman society. This piece was likely part of a series or book exploring the visual culture of the Ottoman Empire.
