Antique Costume Print Lady in Chinese Tartary Jefferys 1749

This elegant engraving depicts a lady in Chinese Tartary, combining elements of Chinese and Central Asian dress. Published by Thomas Jefferys in London in 1749, it reflects European curiosity about the diversity of Asian cultures.

The figure is shown in flowing layered garments with rich color contrasts and refined detailing. Her poised stance and delicate hand coloring create a graceful and balanced composition.

Part of a celebrated series, this print offers both artistic beauty and historical insight, making it a desirable addition to any collection.

Condition: Good condition with age-related toning and minor spotting. Edge wear and small marginal losses present. Plate mark visible.

Framing tips: A dark or warm-toned frame with a wide neutral mat enhances the elegance and vertical composition.

The print is sold unframed; any framed images are shown for presentation and interior inspiration only and may not always be on scale with the original.
