About the piece
Painted by Fausto Zonaro, the last court painter to the Ottoman Sultan, this work captures a moment of diplomatic life in late 19th-century Istanbul. The composition features the daughter of the British Ambassador being carried in a formal palanquin, flanked by guards in striking red uniforms, set against a backdrop of bare trees and a distant cityscape under a clear blue sky.
