This small watercolour shows a woman wearing a shawl, viewed from behind. It’s by an unknown Greek artist, made around 1809 in a Romantic style. The picture belongs to a big set of scenes that a British diplomat asked locals to paint. He wanted records of Ottoman life, buildings and customs. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more from this series.
