Auction house commission:

A19th century painting, potentially from the Italian Orientalist school, vividly captures an opulent Ottoman court scene. The painting is characterised by its rich colours, with a focus on the elaborate costumes and architecture reflective of the grandeur of the Ottoman Empire. The composition features figures engaged in various activities within a richly adorned interior, framed by elegant arches and columns. Central to the scene are musicians and noblemen, with the lead figure, possibly an Ottoman dignitary, surrounded by attendants and entertainers.
