Habit of a Persian Gentleman in 1700

by Thomas Jefferys

This hand-colored engraving, titled "Habit of a Persian Gentleman in 1700," was produced by Thomas Jefferys around 1757 in London. It reveals much about the European interest in the "Exotic East" during the 18th century.

Thomas Jefferys’ engraving is not merely a fashion illustration but rather an ethnographic depiction. The "Gentleman" is shown in profile, presenting a comprehensive representation of Persian clothing. His outfit consists of a long robe (qaba), which is adorned with elaborate floral motifs, probably meant to evoke Persian silk garments. His appearance is rounded off by a large turban, an ornamental belt (zunnar), and pointed shoes, all indicating elevated social standing and the cultural refinement associated with Isfahan society.
