Morning Habit of a Lady of the City of Pera in 1568

by Thomas Jefferys

Experience the subtle refinement of 16th-century Pera via the work of Thomas Jefferys. This splendid engraving does not merely depict a trend; rather, it opens up a window to the daily habits of the ruling class in Levant. The ‘Lady of Pera’ serves as a representation of the cosmopolitan nature of the Golden City, adorned in the flowing, silky attire characteristic of the Ottoman Empire. Through his depiction, Jefferys provides an insight into the delicate balance between restraint and luxury in the life of a lady living in the bustling heart of Renaissance commerce.
