The image for this article on Turhan Sultan is not the correct image. It is of another woman, the Sultan's principle wife. Turban Sultan was a concubine and not his principle wife.
Hi. First, thank you for discussing and not edit-waring.
The picture is named "Emina Sultana" because it was believed in the West, at the time the picture was made, that the mother of Mehmed IV was called Emine and that she was the first wife of Ibrahim (cf
here or
here for these fictional accounts); the names were often inaccurates (Soliman's daughter Mihrimah was believed to be called "Cameria" e.g, see her portraits). The western portraits of sultans, sultanas etc were not made after the real persons, they are imagined and fictitious, so it is vain to look for similarities in the features, they don't depict the real faces of the characters. Finally, "
Emine" has nothing to do with an ancient latin/greek name for the privnce of Asia, this is only a common widespread name.--
