Turkish Woman with Child, Ottoman Costume, Hand-Coloured Lithograph, c.1845
This finely coloured lithograph presents a Turkish woman accompanied by a child, dressed in Ottoman-era costume. The layered garments, veil, and rich textile patterns reflect Western European interpretations of Ottoman domestic life in the mid-19th century.
Part of Wahlen’s global costume series, the image exemplifies the era’s fascination with the Eastern Mediterranean and Near East. Duverger’s composition emphasises maternal presence and cultural identity rather than exoticism alone.
The careful hand colouring, particularly in the warm reds and yellows, enhances the decorative quality of the plate while preserving its documentary intent.
CONDITION:
Light foxing and gentle toning; colours vibrant.
FRAMING TIPS:
A warm wood or antique gilt frame pairs well with the earthy palette.
Technique: Hand-coloured lithograph
Maker: Duverger after Auguste Wahlen, Brussels, c.1845
