About the piece
Dating to 1840, this exquisite architectural drawing by John Frederick Lewis captures the majestic interior of the Ulucami, or Great Mosque, in Bursa. The work masterfully balances the grand proportions of the Ottoman arches with the delicate detail of Arabic calligraphy and small figures in period attire, exemplifying the precise observation and atmospheric lighting characteristic of 19th-century British Orientalism.
