The daughter of Sultan S?leyman the Magnificent (CPA0001204, CPA0002354, CPA0014625) and H?rrem Sultana Roxelana (CPA0000828 , CPA0000836, CPA0000842), Mihrimah Sulta was married to the Governor of Diyarbak?r, R?stem Pasha, in 1539. She had two children, Ay?e H?ma?ah and Osman with R?stem Pasha, who served as grand vizier in 1544-1553 and 1555-1561. A rather influential figure at the Harem during the reigns of her father Sultan S?leyman the Magnificent and her brother Sultan Selim II, Mihrimah Sultan commissioned Mimar Sinan to build mosque complexes in her name both in ?sk?dar (the Iskele or Mihrimah Mosque) and Edirnekap? (the Mihrimah Sultan Mosque). The attire and headdress repeated in other examples of the portrait reflect the Turkish fashion of the period. During the 16th century, in which the Ottoman style became visible in Europe, both Mihrimah Sultan and her mother H?rrem Sultan represented the idealized Ottoman female figure.
