Turkish Women in the Countryside near Istanbul — Jean Baptiste Vanmour

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

The women are all looking up at an apparition of a vague, floating female figure. What story is depicted here is not known. It might be a Turkish folk tale, or perhaps what we see are the hallucinations of women smoking opium.

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