"Portrait of a Girl, Half-Length, in Turkish Costume" is an 18th-century oil painting by Flemish artist Jan-Baptiste Vanmour (1671–1737), who is renowned for his detailed depictions of life in the Ottoman Empire. Vanmour spent a significant portion of his career in Constantinople (present-day Istanbul), where he was able to observe and portray the diverse peoples and costumes of the Empire with a high degree of verisimilitude.

The painting captures a young girl dressed in an elaborate Turkish costume, which reflects the European fascination with "Oriental" culture during the period. The subject is depicted from the waist up, gazing directly at the viewer, which was a common portraiture convention of the time. The attire of the girl, rich in detail and color, is rendered with meticulous attention to the textures and patterns that were characteristic of Turkish garments. This not only showcases Vanmour's skill as a portraitist but also serves as a valuable record of the cultural exchanges between Europe and the Ottoman Empire.

The composition of the portrait, with its focus on the figure against a muted background, allows the viewer to concentrate on the intricate costume and the girl's expression. The use of light and shadow in the painting highlights the three-dimensionality of the figure and the luxurious fabrics she is adorned with.

"Portrait of a Girl, Half-Length, in Turkish Costume" is considered an important work in Vanmour's oeuvre, as it exemplifies the cross-cultural interactions of the era and contributes to the visual documentation of 18th-century Ottoman attire. The painting is also indicative of the broader trend of Orientalism in European art, where artists sought to capture and sometimes romanticize the perceived exoticism of the East.

The painting is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in museums that focus on the period's art or the cultural history of the Ottoman Empire. It continues to be a subject of study for art historians interested in the representation of the East in Western art and the historical context of costume and fashion in portraiture.
