拍场告示
We are grateful to Mr. Gerald M. Ackerman for authenticating this lot on the basis of a photograph. He has suggested an alternative title 'Sentinel at the tomb of the Sultan' dated 1878. Gérome used the sketch again for the painting Champs de repos

拍品专文

This work is a preparatory study for Porte (Mosquée verte) which is illustrated in Léon Gérême Monographie révisée Catalogue raisonné à jour 1992 as Catalogue Number 501.

Walter B. Denny has identified this scene as the door way into the tomb of Mehmet I, which Gérome would have seen during his visit to Bursa in 1875.
