Engraving, part of 'Omnium pene Europae, Asiae, Aphricae atque Americae Gentium Habitus' (Costumes of the various nations of Europe, Asia, Africa and America), a series of prints representing figures from various parts of the world, engraved by Abraham de Bruyn and published by Joos de Bosscher in 1580.

This engraving represents a Greek merchant, a Macedonian woman, a Carmanian countrywoman, and a Greek countrywoman. On the left, the Greek merchant wears a long-sleeved overcoat over an ankle-length robe with a striped belt with fringed edges tied around the waist, stockings and flat, pointed-toe shoes. He has a short beard and mustache, and wears a turban.

The Macedonian woman, next to him, wears an ankle-length dress with long puff sleeves, trimmed with embellished stripes with pearls on the collar and torso, a fabric belt, and low-heeled boots. Her hair is braided, and she wears a tall hat with pearls, a large, scrolling feather, and a strip of fabric with tassels hanging from it at the back. Around her chest she wears two strips of flowers and leaves. She carries a sort of pillow in her hands.

On the center-right, the Carmanian countrywoman wears a long-sleeved overcoat over an ankle-length dress with horizontal stripes, a headscarf, and flat, pointed-toe shoes. On her left arm she carries a goose, and on her right hand she carries a basket with eggs.

On the right, the Greek countrywoman wears a long-sleeved robe with flat shoes, and a fringed headscarf wrapped around her hair and hanging behind her back. She carries a basket with chickens in her hand.
