A Turkish woman is a 1843 watercolor by Aloysius Rosarius Amadeus Raymondus Andreas Preziosi, a Orientalism work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
A watercolour by Aloysius Preziosi depicts a Turkish woman dressed in a purple cloak trimmed with fur, paired with red boots, reflecting the fashionable attire of 19th-century Istanbul. The figure is shown wearing a light veil and headscarf, typical of the period, while her Parisian-style dress remains concealed beneath a ferace. The work is one of 34 drawings acquired by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1907.
