Description:
P. 283 "The accompanying drawing gives a good idea of the appearance of Persian ladies at home and we may at least presume that the Princess was as fair as the representation. Among the higher classes, the ladies devote a large portion of their time to the toilet. Inspection of the drawing will remind the readers that painting and tight-lacing are not confined to the Western continent. Persian ladies color their eyebrows black the hair being combed down upon the forehead and cut short about them the nails both of their fingers and toes auburn, and their cheeks red." This image of a Persian woman shows her wearing the headcloth known as the charqat (Vogelsang-Eastwood, p. 16). What appears to be a skirt is a very full cut pair of trousers or zeer-djameh (Shoberl 1845, p. 110-111).
