EDITORS COMMENTS
Sultane de Transilvanie, Plate 23 from Caravanne du Sultan à la Mecque" is an exquisite etching on ivory laid paper created by the renowned French artist, Joseph-Marie Vien the Elder, in the 18th century. This work of art depicts a Sultana, a woman of high rank in the Islamic world, from Transylvania, dressed in traditional attire for the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca. The Sultana is depicted in a full-length portrait, seated on a plush, ornate chair, with a cloak draped over her shoulders and a plumed headdress adorning her head. Her clothing is richly detailed, with intricate patterns and textures that reflect the opulence of the Baroque era. The Sultana's dress is adorned with intricate embroidery and beadwork, while her hat features a tall, plume that adds a regal touch to her appearance. Despite her regal attire, the Sultana looks away from the viewer, her gaze fixed on some distant point, adding an air of mystery and introspection to the portrait. The etching's black and white tones lend a timeless quality to the image, while the intricate details of the clothing and headdress are brought to life through the artist's masterful use of line and shading. This etching is part of the series "Caravanne du Sultan à la Mecque," which documents the journey of the Sultan and his entourage on their pilgrimage to Mecca. The series is a testament to Vien's skill as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of the Baroque era and the rich cultural heritage of the Islamic world. Today, this precious work of art can be found in the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
