Her left hand rests lightly on the wheel of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, a choice that has been attributed to the Ottoman Empire’s possession of Alexandria at the time [1]. Her headdress flows from a jeweled turban around her hair to a high, pointed structure of gold, pearls, rubies and emeralds culminating in a waterfall of white drapery. The cut and fabric of her tunic appear to be typical of Ottoman dress of the time, with a high neck and intricate patterns of flowers and curvilinear forms, contrasting with the low-cut gowns of lace, velvet, satin and silk favored by Venetian noblewomen. Like <a href="https://venice.dahvc.org/fall-2020/exhibits/show/womenofvenice/item/89%20">Caterina Cornaro</a>, Cameria is shown in this state portrait as a virtuous, learned princess. However, while Cameria is shown in Ottoman costume, she has been somewhat Italianized by the artist through her association with a popular Christian saint and the depiction of her facial features conforming to Venetian ideals of beauty with soft, rounded curves and a pale complexion with rosy overtones. Compare this image of a historic figure of the Near East with the <a href="https://venice.dahvc.org/fall-2020/items/show/28">allegorical figure of Africa</a>, each made from an Italian perspective, most likely for a European audience.
