EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "A Turkish Girl playing the Tehegour" offers a glimpse into the vibrant world of 18th-century Orientalism. The image showcases a young Turkish girl, dressed in traditional attire, skillfully playing the tehegour, an exotic musical instrument. The girl is depicted reclining on a sumptuous couch adorned with cushions and robes, creating an atmosphere of opulence and luxury. Her headdress adds to her regal appearance as she effortlessly strums the strings of her mandolin-like instrument. This print is part of the Receuil de Cent Estampes representante differentes Nations du Levant collection published by Le Hay & Duchange in Paris between 1707 and 1708. It was instigated by Charles de Ferriol, the French ambassador to the Ottoman Empire from 1699 to 1711. Engraved by Gerard Jean Baptiste Scotin, this artwork beautifully captures both the cultural richness and artistic finesse that characterized Orientalist works during this period. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever - a testament to cross-cultural exchange and fascination with Eastern traditions. This print from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection serves as a reminder of how art can bridge gaps between nations and cultures while celebrating their unique beauty.
