Explore Istanbul's Pera Museum – housing stunning Orientalist paintings like 'The Tortoise Trainer,' Anatolian treasures & exquisite Kütahya ceramics alongside captivating exhibitions.
The Sultan is seen on the arife throne, with its slender pillars on its four corners, wearing his traditional kaftan and turban with a long aigrette. The pillar and thick curtain at the back tell us that the Sultan is inside the palace. There are lithographs of Sultan Selim III in the same composition. The painter must have used these lithographs, which were reproduced and distributed in Europe during the 19th century as a model. There is also an example at the Topkapı Palace. The lithograph by Aramyan and Sourieu in the Suna and İnan Kıraç Foundation Collection is another example of these.
