"Frankish Woman from Pera Constantinople 1738-43" is a notable pastel portrait by the Swiss-French artist Jean-Étienne Liotard, who is renowned for his masterful work in this medium. The portrait, created during Liotard's stay in Constantinople (now Istanbul), Turkey, between 1738 and 1743, depicts a European, or "Frankish," woman dressed in the Oriental fashion that was popular among the European residents of Pera, a district known for its diverse population and foreign embassies.

The artwork is significant for its cultural and artistic representation of cross-cultural encounters in the 18th century. Liotard, who was deeply influenced by his travels and stays in various European courts as well as in the Near East, brought a keen eye for detail and a fascination with cultural authenticity to his work. This particular portrait is a testament to the artist's skill in rendering textures and fabrics, as well as his ability to capture the subtle interplay of identity and costume in a cosmopolitan setting.

The "Frankish Woman from Pera Constantinople" is an example of Liotard's broader oeuvre, which often included portraits of European subjects in exotic attire or settings, reflecting the Enlightenment-era interest in the "other" and the fashion for 'Turquerie'—the imitation or representation of Turkish culture in the arts. The portrait is also an important record of the historical presence and influence of European communities in the Ottoman Empire during the 18th century.

Liotard's work is held in high esteem for its contribution to the Rococo movement and for its exceptional realism, which was achieved without the aid of preliminary sketches. His meticulous attention to detail and his dedication to naturalism set his portraits apart from those of his contemporaries. The "Frankish Woman from Pera Constantinople" is a prime example of Liotard's talent and remains a valuable piece of art historical and cultural scholarship.
