Lying-in Room of a Distinguished Turkish Woman — Jean Baptiste Vanmour

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

A maternity visit takes place in the home of a well-to-do family. Coffee is brewed on a brazier in the middle of the room, while at left a slave is busy preparing sorbet. Once the guests have taken these refreshments, they are offered rosewater from a sprinkler to clean their hands, and perfume from a vaporizer. The cloths hanging on the wall are traditional gifts from the visitors.

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