Greek Men and Women Dancing the Khorra — Jean Baptiste Vanmour

Jean Baptiste Vanmour. Painted c. 1720 - c. 1737.

In the countryside outside the city, Greek men and women dance what is known as the khorra. Because Vanmour was not Muslim, it was easier for him to gain access to the Greek community in Istanbul than it was the Turkish side of life.

From the collection of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. Currently on display in 18th Century, At the Ottoman court, Main building.
