"Moorish Woman, plate 99 from 'Recueil de Cent Estampes representant differentes Nations du Levant tirees sur les Tableaux Peints dapres Nature...' is an engraving created by Pierre Rochefort (c.1673-1728) in 1707-08, based on a painting by Jean Baptiste Vanmour. This work is part of a larger collection of 100 engravings that depict various nations and ethnic groups from the Levant, a historical term referring to a large area in the Eastern Mediterranean. The collection was commissioned by Charles de Ferriol, the French ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, and aimed to document the diverse cultures and peoples he encountered during his tenure.

Jean Baptiste Vanmour, a French painter, was known for his detailed and ethnographically accurate depictions of Ottoman society. His works provided a visual record of the customs, attire, and daily life of the people in the Ottoman Empire during the early 18th century. Vanmour's paintings were highly regarded for their precision and attention to detail, which made them ideal subjects for engravings.

Pierre Rochefort, the engraver, was tasked with translating Vanmour's paintings into prints. Engraving, a meticulous and labor-intensive process, involves incising a design onto a hard surface, typically a metal plate, which is then inked and pressed onto paper to create an image. Rochefort's engravings are noted for their clarity and fidelity to Vanmour's original compositions.

The specific engraving, "Moorish Woman," captures the attire and demeanor of a woman from the Moorish community, reflecting the cultural and social nuances of the time. The term "Moorish" historically refers to Muslim inhabitants of the Maghreb, the Iberian Peninsula, Sicily, and Malta during the Middle Ages. In the context of this engraving, it likely denotes a woman of North African descent living within the Ottoman Empire.

The "Recueil de Cent Estampes" was an important work in the field of ethnography and art history, providing European audiences with one of the earliest visual records of the diverse populations of the Levant. The collection remains a valuable resource for historians and art enthusiasts, offering insights into the cultural interactions and representations of the early 18th century.
