Nineteen-year-old Jane Baldwin, the wife of a wealthy merchant, was born in Smyrna (now Izmir in Turkey) of British parents. She had no East European blood, but Mrs Baldwin made the most of her exotic background; she was known as the 'pretty Greek'.She wore this costume on special occasions in London, notably at a ball given by the king. She holds an ancient coin from her birthplace. The sensuality of her unusual crosslegged pose adds to her allure.
