EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, dating back to 1707-08, showcases a Turkish girl immersed in the enchanting world of music. Created by Charles de Ferriol, the French ambassador for Louis XIV to the Ottoman Empire, this exquisite piece is part of his Collection of One Hundred Prints Representing the Different Nations of the Levant. In this portrait, we witness a young woman seated gracefully with an accomplished air about her. Dressed in traditional attire that beautifully reflects her cultural heritage, she exudes elegance and charm. Her fingers delicately pluck at the strings of a keyboard instrument, producing melodies that transport us to distant lands. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures every nuance - from her fur-trimmed cape to her skillful posture while playing. The coloured engraving adds depth and vibrancy to this historical gem. Gerard Scotin's masterful engravings bring life and movement to Ferriol's vision. Through their collaboration, they offer us a glimpse into the rich musical traditions of the Ottoman Empire during this period. As we admire this remarkable artwork today, it serves as a testament not only to artistic talent but also as a bridge connecting cultures across time and space. It reminds us of how music has always been an integral part of human expression and communication throughout history.
