Izmir, Turkey - Pasha in his Palace and the Harbour
A Pasha in his Palace before an exotic garden, smoking a pipe and seated below a silk damask curtain with gold bullion fringe. Accompanied by a general view of the Quay, waterfront and shoreline of Izmir (Smyrne), Turkey with the citadel/fortress/castle (Kadifekale) at rear and a larger sailing vessel moored in the foreground. The whole idea of Islamic gardens was for them to be an expression of heaven
