She has delicately tinted pink cheeks, and dark brown eyes. Her pale grey hair is dressed in a high chignon and ornamented with two orange and two blue feathers, and a veil which is attached to her bodice at the front.

A German edition with smaller prints, mainly in reverse, titled 'Wahrest und neueste Abbildung des Türckischen Hofes', was published in Nuremberg in 1719, and reprints of the 1714 edition appeared c. 1750 and 1765. This figure and its companion, boy dressed as a Sultan (C.10-1947) known as the Sultan’s Children (Die Sultanskinder), catered for the taste for exotic objects in the mid 18th-late century. Many examples of both figures have survived. The modeller, Johann Peter Melchior, worked at Höchst from 1767 to 1779 when he moved to Frankenthal. This girl, although very different in character, may have been influenced by a Meissen figure of a girl in Turkish costume, commissioned by the Parisien marchand-mercier, Gilles Bazin, and made c. 1756, for which drawings survive in the Historical Collection of the State Porcelain Collection at Meissen (VA 376). reference term-120902 adlib-term-120902 7ad5748a-4503-39c2-9b0e-6460b2494524 18th Century, third quarter reference term-110407 adlib-term-110407 08d0f686-1347-3bb9-a466-b33699f5f2c6 literal Germany Germany country Höchst is now part of greater Frankfurt-am-Main Höchst-am-Main clear; except edges of base reference term-32652 adlib-term-32652 82d8ae3b-f165-395c-ba93-dfa1c282b7be glaze reference term-37627 adlib-term-37627 254febfe-0021-3e45-89a7-d57ba40044c7 hard-paste porcelain Height cm 17.6 Height in 7 Width cm 10.1 Width in 4 reference term-107454 adlib-term-107454 6ca0f2ab-c1f8-329d-8a45-8f1322f53a20 figure history note Purchased from Stanley Woolston, Cambridge 1 reference object-140093 adlib-object-140093 3236ce69-0f99-397f-b8e8-86e30fe348c2
