Antoine de Favray, 1754
From One Year One Painting a Day.
A minor french painter noted for his portraits of the Ottoman Empire. I have a hard time believing that these are actual Turkish women; I find it more likely that he's found French women who want to indulge in Oriental fantasies. Again notice the delicate pointed fingers plaiting the central woman's hair, and the strait noses they all share.
