Western Europe was fascinated by the styles of the Ottoman empire,
and it was popular to have portraits painted in Turkish dress. The
fashion received a boost in 1762 with the publication of the letters of
Lady Mary Wortley Montagu concerning her time in Turkey from 1717,
while her husband was ambassador there. Meissen figures were the
original model, (fig.1) but those were copied at Bow and Derby (fig.2)
before being copied by the Chinese. Very few examples of any related (fig.1) (fig.2)
figures are recorded.
