A truly striking 19th Century portrait of the powerful and beautiful Roxelana. Roxelana (c.1504–1558) was a captured slave who became wife and consort of the sultan Suleiman, reinstated marriage among the Ottoman rulers, influenced her husband's foreign and domestic policies, consolidated her power by wiping out rivals, and initiated a period of Ottoman history known as the "reign of women." This portrait captures much of Roxelana's beauty and power. The artist has signed to the lower right and inscribed to the lower edge. This drawing is in need of restoration. On wove.
