Turkish Women in the Countryside near Istanbul  1720

by Jean Baptiste Vanmour

The women are all looking up at an apparition of a vague, floating female figure. What story is depicted here is not known. It might be a Turkish folk tale, or perhaps what we see are the hallucinations of women smoking opium.
