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 fourteen types of women from Turkey, Adrianople, Constantinople, Africa, Greece, and Barbaria, arranged in two horizontal rows of seven. On the first row, a plebeian Turkish woman wears a long-sleeved dress with train and a headscarf with a sort of scarf that covers her face, and an underskirt with a pattern of lozenges and crosses. A Turkish woman at the bath wears a long-sleeved, draped robe, sandals, and a hat without brim over her long, loose hair, carrying a small ewer hanging from her necklace, and with a larger ewer by her side. Another plebeian Turkish woman, shown from behind, wears an ankle-length robe and a fringed-edged veil. A noblewoman from Adrianople wears a belted, long-sleeved robe and a long veil wrapped around her hair and neck, and covering her shoulders and back; she wears a pearl necklace with a pendant hanging on her chest. The wife of a Constantinopolitan soldier wears a short-sleeved overcoat over a long-sleeved, long gown with a brocaded patter of stylized leaves, bordered with a pattern of lozenges between stripes of pearls, a veil on her head, a necklace with a brooch, and holding a handkerchief on the left hand. A Constantinopolitan girl wears a turban and headscarf, and a short-sleeved coat with a pattern of arabesques, a striped belt with fringed edges around her waist, a long-sleeved robe, and flat, pointed-toe shoes, holding a branch with a small flower and leaves on her left hand. On the right, a Jewess living in Adrianople wears a long-sleeved overcoat with a pattern of lozenges and pearls, a veil with embroidered stones on the border covering her hair and neck, and slippers on her feet.

On the second row, an African noblewoman wears a short-sleeved dress with open skirt with alternating stripes with scrolling motifs and shuttle shapes, over a long-sleeved shirt and scallop-edged trousers, sandals, and a headscarf wrapped around her head. A young girl from the islands wears an ankle-length dress trimmed with bows at the shoulders, and with an apron bordered with geometric motifs and fringed edges, her hair braided and wrapped in a headscarf, and carrying flowers in her hands. Another young woman wears an ankle-length dress with tiered skirt, the shorter one with a border of semi-abstract floral motifs, with a headscarf around her head, and holding a handkerchief. A woman from the islands wears an ankle-length dress with a pattern of stylized leaves, bordered with dark stripes, a fringed scarf on her shoulders, and a tall hat with bows and flowers. An African woman wears a headscarf with a veil covering her face over a mid-calf robe, jeweled cuffs on her wrists and ankles, and is barefoot. A Barbarian woman wears a shawl wrapped around her head and upper body, over an aknle-length robe with pointed-toe boots and long gloves. Finally, a Greek woman wears a fur-lined overcoat over a long-sleeved, ankle-length dress, sandals, her hair braided and with tassels hanging at the bottom, and a hat with a wide cap, wrapped in a scarf.
