About the piece
Created by Félix Ziem around 1885, this work exemplifies the artist's mastery of light and atmosphere. The scene depicts the Bosphorus at Istanbul, where a traditional longboat filled with figures moves across the water. The delicate treatment of the blossoming tree and the ethereal city skyline in the distance creates a sense of peaceful, timeless movement in the late 19th-century Orient.
