Attributed to Charles Lepeintre
(Paris 1735–1803)
Portrait of a little girl in a Turkish dress,
oil on canvas, 55,5 x 46 cm, framed
The present painting illustrates the popularity enjoyed by Turkish fashions at European courts. Vanmour’s portrait of Lady Mary Montagu in Turkish costume introduced Europe to Oriental ways of dressing. Madame de Pompadour and even Empress Maria Theresia commissioned portraits wearing such clothes. “Turquerie” became a phenomenon that encompassed all art genres – music, painting, architecture, as well as fashion. The image of the Turk has changed from that of a barbaric opponent to that of a refined and cultured foreigner. An alternative attribution of this painting to Johann Heinrich Tischbein the Elder has also been suggested.
