"Presumed Portrait of Laura Tarsi in Turkish Dress" is an 18th-century pastel painting by the Swiss-French artist Jean-Étienne Liotard, renowned for his masterful work in the medium of pastel as well as his fascination with Orientalist themes. The painting is notable for its depiction of a European woman, Laura Tarsi, dressed in the exotic fashion of the Ottoman Empire, reflecting the contemporary European interest in the East and the trend of "Turquerie" that was fashionable in the period.

Liotard, who lived between 1702 and 1789, was widely traveled and spent significant time in Constantinople (present-day Istanbul), where he was influenced by the local culture and attire. This experience is evident in the detailed rendering of Tarsi's costume and the overall composition of the work. The portrait is characterized by Liotard's meticulous attention to texture and light, capturing the softness of the fabrics and the subtle interplay of colors with a high degree of realism.

The identity of the sitter, Laura Tarsi, is presumed based on historical records, and the portrait is often cited as an example of Liotard's skill in capturing the personality and elegance of his subjects. The work is also an important piece in the study of cultural exchange between Europe and the Ottoman Empire during the 18th century, as it showcases the influence of Ottoman fashion on European portraiture and the broader artistic imagination.

"Presumed Portrait of Laura Tarsi in Turkish Dress" remains a significant work in Liotard's oeuvre and in the collection of Orientalist art. It is frequently studied for its artistic merit, its role in the cultural phenomenon of "Turquerie," and its representation of cross-cultural encounters in European art history.
