"Armenian Architect, plate 88 from 'Recueil de Cent Estampes representant differentes Nations du Levant tirees sur les Tableaux Peints d'après Nature en 1707 & 1708' is a notable work by Jean Baptiste Vanmour, a Flemish-French painter who is renowned for his detailed depictions of the Ottoman Empire and its diverse inhabitants. This particular plate is part of a larger collection that was commissioned by the French ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, Charles de Ferriol, with the aim of documenting the various peoples and costumes of the Levant. The collection, published between 1707 and 1708, consists of 100 engravings and is considered a significant contribution to European knowledge of the Ottoman Empire during the early 18th century.

Jean Baptiste Vanmour (1671-1737) lived and worked in Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) for most of his career, and his works are valued for their ethnographic accuracy and attention to detail. 'Armenian Architect' is exemplary of Vanmour's style and his focus on portraying subjects with dignity and precision. The plate depicts an Armenian architect, highlighting the distinctive attire and professional tools of the time, thereby offering insight into the role and status of architects within the Armenian community in the Ottoman Empire.

This work, along with the rest of the collection, was influential in shaping European perceptions of the Ottoman world, providing a visual record that was both educational and exotic to its contemporary audience. Today, 'Armenian Architect' and the 'Recueil de Cent Estampes' are considered important historical documents, as well as fine examples of early 18th-century European engraving and illustration. They are studied for their artistic merit as well as their contribution to the understanding of cultural and social dynamics in the Ottoman Empire during a period of significant interaction between Europe and the Near East."
