Summary
A full-length portrait of a Turkish lady wearing robes and a headdress. Her clothing is depicted using a tiny pinprick design that pierces entirely through the paper. A secondary sheet with attached gold foil appliqué is positioned beneath the pinprick design to allow the gold to shine through the pinpricks imparting an appearance of gold flecked clothing.
