EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "A Noblewoman of Smyrna in Turkey, 1780" offers a glimpse into the elegant world of Turkish fashion during the Ottoman Empire. Created by Pierre Duflos in the late 18th century, this print showcases a distinguished noblewoman adorned in exquisite attire. The noblewoman's opulent robes are beautifully crafted and feature intricate details that reflect her status and wealth. The vibrant pink hue adds a touch of femininity to her ensemble, while fur trims lend an air of luxury and sophistication. Her headdress is equally impressive, with its ornate design and regal presence. Set against an exotic backdrop reminiscent of Smyrna (now Izmir), this illustration transports us to a time when Eastern cultures fascinated Western societies through their distinctive fashion choices. The Levantine influence is evident in the woman's attire, showcasing the intermingling of cultural styles along trade routes. Published as part of Recueil des Estampes in Paris in 1780, this artwork captures not only the beauty but also serves as a historical record for future generations to appreciate. Preserved within private collections like The Stapleton Collection today, it continues to inspire awe and admiration for both its artistic merit and its representation of Turkish nobility from centuries past. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of the enduring allure that transcends time and borders – an enchanting testament to human creativity and our fascination with distant lands.
