watercolor

This watercolour shows a Greek woman from about 1809. It belongs to a set of pictures made for a British diplomat in Istanbul. The artist stayed anonymous, though some think he worked near Konstantin Kapidagli. The pictures mix Ottoman watercolour style with European ways of drawing space. They open a window on life in the Ottoman world at the time. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum next.
