There is a painting in the Turcophilia Revealed exhibition by Sotherby's Paris with the description:
A figure in Turkish Costume
Jean Jacques Fran?ois Rivi?re (1653-1747)
Signed: "Jean Jacques Fran?ois Rivi?re in Aleppo ? 1697 ? September 24 "
Oil on canvas
H. 118 cm ; W. 88 cm
In the background of a gentleman in Turkish costume of the period is a servant either stringing or unstringing a bow, with some arrows laying in front of him. Though the detail is not clear, it appears to be a Turkish bow and the boy holding it does not seem to be straining. This seems to be a rare European view of Turkish archery equipment in its heyday. Judging by the fletching, the arrows are not intended for distance shooting.
