The painting by Osman Hamdi Bey (from 1906), Turkey, oil on canvas, 223 x 117 cm, title "Kaplumbaga Terbiyecisi" (The Turtle Educator) hangs in the Pera- Museum, Istanbul. After research, the artist was inspired by an old Japanese print that he bought in Paris. Stylistically, his painting is a homage to French salon painting. The famous motif is the model for my small silk carpet. Further information can be found under “Search: Osman”.
