About the piece

Painted around 1750 by Swiss artist Jean-Étienne Liotard, this work captures the 18th-century European fascination with the Ottoman Empire, known as Turquerie. The painting is a masterclass in texture, meticulously rendering the embroidery of the lady's robes, the sheen of the fabrics, and the unique height of her traditional bath clogs (nalins).
