Once upon a time: fairy Carabosse cuts the navel cord of a new born baby called Anastasia. “Too late,” she says, “A needle will sting her hand at sixteen and she will die.” The other fairies start to cry: Nobody deserves to sleep for a hundred years... A hundred years! Sleeping! Even though the fairies can’t inhibit the curse they find a way for the girl to bear those hundred years: bestow onto her the ability to travel far lands in her dreams.

The series of paintings depicting the audience ceremonies of European ambassadors hold a unique place among the works of Jean-Baptiste Vanmour of Valenciennes, who lived in İstanbul from 1699 until his death in 1737.
