"Turkish Woman ("Annetta"), Smyrna" is a notable painting by the Swiss artist Charles-Gabriel Gleyre, created in the mid-19th century. Gleyre, who was born in 1806 and died in 1874, is recognized for his contributions to the academic art tradition and his influence on a generation of artists, including the Impressionists. This particular work is an evocative representation of an Orientalist theme, a genre that was immensely popular in European art during the 19th century.

The painting depicts a Turkish woman, referred to as "Annetta," in the city of Smyrna, which is present-day Izmir in Turkey. Gleyre's portrayal is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and the rich, vibrant use of color, which brings to life the exoticism and allure that Western audiences associated with the East. The subject is adorned in traditional Turkish attire, complete with intricate patterns and luxurious fabrics, which Gleyre captures with a high degree of realism and sensitivity.

Gleyre's work often reflects his academic training and his travels, particularly his journey to the Near East, which profoundly influenced his artistic vision. "Turkish Woman ("Annetta"), Smyrna" is a testament to his ability to blend classical techniques with contemporary themes, creating a bridge between the familiar and the foreign. The painting not only showcases Gleyre's technical prowess but also his interest in the cultural and social dimensions of his subjects.

This piece is a part of Gleyre's broader oeuvre that explores themes of beauty, culture, and the human condition, making it a significant work in the context of 19th-century European art. It stands as an example of how Orientalist art served as a window into the fascination and romanticization of Eastern cultures by Western artists and audiences during this period.
