Maaltijd van voorname Turkse vrouwen
Jean Baptiste Vanmour, c. 1720 - c. 1737
Here we see a group of women surrounded by enslaved female servants and on the sofa near the window a woman nursing her child. Affluent Turkish women visited one another frequently. The guests also often spent the night. It was said that a well-connected woman never had to stay at home, but could be out visiting all the time.
