Description
This curious image by Stefano della Bella depicts an unnamed Sultana covered in lavish jewelry. Her facial features are extremely generic, and give no indication of ethnicity or individuality. Her large turban is covered in jewels, and topped with a feather. This etching speaks to the exoticism, luxury, and wealth associated with the Orient.
