File talk:Safiye Sultan.jpg

Wrong sitter attribution
This is not a portrait of Safiye Sultan, but instead of Nurban Sultan.

This is shown by the word 'Baffo' (visible in the text too left in the portrait) which refers to Cecilia Baffo' (Nurban Sultan's alleged birth name).

There is also a description of a portrait of Nurban Sultan in an academic article by Heather Madar (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/292254747_Before_the_Odalisque_Renaissance_Representations_of_Elite_Ottoman_Women) which refers to her being shown in "a three-quarter pose with a tall white headdress adorned with a jeweled ornament and long, trailing veils. She wears a costume of rich, brightly colored textiles with several visible layers..." which perfectly describes this image. OtisSpanner (talk) 22:04, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
