About the piece
Painted circa 1718 by Jean Baptiste Vanmour, this portrait captures a woman from the island of Mykonos in detailed traditional costume. Known for his studies of life in the Ottoman Empire, Vanmour meticulously renders the textures of her patterned gown and flowing headscarf as she holds a single rose against a rustic stone backdrop.
