Turkish gemi ships

The Turkish gemi ships are the subject of attention in the present lot - the foremost detailed vessel showcases Preziosi's meticulous skill in his rendering of the carvings on the boat, the background outlined boat expresses the artist's skill in capturing the vessels of the Bosphorus sitting naturally on the water.
We are grateful to Briony Llewellyn and Charles Newton for their assistance in cataloguing the present lot.
