Ελληνίδα με πτυχωτό πρωινό ένδυμα και κάλυμμα κεφαλής. Στο κείμενο που συνοδεύει την εικόνα επισημαίνεται η ομοιότητα της ενδυμασίας των γυναικών ελληνικής και τουρκικής καταγωγής στην οθωμανική αυτοκρατορία, με εξαίρεση το κάλυμμα κεφαλής. Οι Ελληνίδες έφεραν πιο ογκώδη, και κατά συνέπεια λιγότερο κομψά, τουρμπάνια.
