About the piece
This evocative oil painting by Félix Ziem captures the 'Sweet Waters of Asia' on the outskirts of Constantinople. Created around 1885, the work employs a loose, painterly technique to depict a group of figures resting in the shade of lush, towering trees, while the distant silhouettes of minarets rise through a hazy, light-filled sky.
