Constantinople Painted by Warwick Goble (1906) - Page 10

A color painting of a woman in traditional Ottoman dress, featuring a white headpiece and a semi-transparent face veil (yashmak) that reveals her eyes and the faint outline of her features. She is draped in a striped shawl of purple, green, and yellow hues. The background depicts a cityscape of Istanbul at dusk or dawn, with a large domed mosque and its minarets silhouetted against a hazy sky. To the right is a bridge with pedestrians, and below, small boats sit on the water. The artist's signature is visible in the lower-left corner.
