"Soulak, plate 17 from Recueil de Cent Estampes representant differentes Nations du Levant tirees sur les Tableaux Peints d'apres Nature..." is a notable work from a collection of engravings that offers a visual record of the diverse peoples and costumes of the Levant region during the early 18th century. Engraved by Claude Dubosc between 1707 and 1708, this particular plate is based on a painting by the Flemish-French artist Jean Baptiste Vanmour, who resided in Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) and became renowned for his detailed and vivid portrayal of Ottoman life and society.

The collection, whose title translates to "A Collection of One Hundred Prints representing different Nations of the Levant, drawn from the life," was commissioned by the French ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, Charles de Ferriol, and reflects the European fascination with the Orient, which was a popular subject in art and literature during the period. Vanmour's original paintings, from which Dubosc's engravings were derived, were celebrated for their ethnographic accuracy and attention to detail, offering a valuable insight into the costumes, customs, and characters of the region.

Plate 17, titled "Soulak," depicts an individual from the Levant, possibly a soldier or a member of a specific ethnic or social group, characterized by his distinctive attire and bearing. The work is part of a larger trend in European art known as Orientalism, where Western artists represented Eastern cultures with a mixture of fascination, romanticization, and sometimes stereotyping.

The "Recueil de Cent Estampes" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the historical understanding of the Levant during a time when the Ottoman Empire was of great interest to European powers. The engravings served to satisfy and stimulate European curiosity about the exotic and the foreign, and they continue to be studied for their intersection of art, culture, and history.
