Habit of the Sultaness in 1749

by Thomas Jefferys

This elegant print from 1749 by Thomas Jefferys demonstrates the elegance and richness associated with an Ottoman sultaness. The level of detail depicted in the painting gives viewers an insight into the types of materials, fabrics, and decorations worn by wealthy women in the Ottoman Empire.

Thomas Jefferys is widely known as a cartographer and illustrator. However, this painting provides an excellent example of how he used his skills to provide a more detailed look into another culture through the practice of ethnography. This work was produced at a time in history when Europeans were very interested in observing the traditions and costumes of the Ottoman Empire.
