A woman wearing a turban and seated at a table c. 1650-1700
-
A drawing of a woman, perhaps intended for a Sibyl, seated half length at a table, in profile to the left. Her head rests on her right hand, and she leans her right elbow on a book which lies open on the table. There are traces of an inscription in brown ink, partly cut away and now indecipherable, at the top left corner.

Bequeathed by the artist to Benedetto and Cesare Gennari; from whose descendants purchased by Richard Dalton for George III, c.1758-63; first recorded in a Royal Collection inventory of c.1800-1820 (Inv.A, p.61)
