About the piece

Painted in 1855 by Fabius Brest, this exquisite work depicts a lively scene in the Ottoman city of Trebizond. The composition masterfully balances the intricate, patterned details of the wooden balconies with the organic sprawl of a massive tree, all set under a clear sky that illuminates the textures of the textiles and stone.
