EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Daughter of Sultans, Ottoman period, third quarter of 18th century" transports us back to the opulent world of the Ottoman Empire. Created by the French School in the 18th century, this exquisite artwork showcases a young Turkish woman who is not only a musician but also an embodiment of grace and beauty. Dressed in traditional attire, she holds a fiddle delicately in her hands, ready to enchant with her mesmerizing melodies. The violin's strings seem to come alive under her skillful touch as she effortlessly brings forth harmonious notes that resonate through time. As we gaze at this painting, we are transported into the grandeur of the Ottoman court where music played an integral role in cultural expression. This unnamed courtier represents more than just a talented musician; she embodies resilience and strength as an illegitimate daughter of sultans. The artist masterfully captures every intricate detail - from the delicate brushstrokes that bring life to her expressive eyes to the vibrant colors that adorn her clothing. It is evident that this piece was created with great care and admiration for its subject. Preserved within the School of Oriental and African Studies Library at University College London, this remarkable artwork continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation. Through it, we catch a glimpse into a rich historical era filled with artistry and cultural significance.
