Outskirts of Constantinople, print, Men and women in Oriental clothing on a site surrounded by buildings. A mosque in the background on the right., printmaker: Marius Bauer (signed by artist), 1889, paper, etching, intaglio printmaking technique, etching with plate tone, height 119 mm x width 220 mm, temple, shrine, Islam, Mohammedanism, outskirts of city, Constantinople, Ottoman Empire, A sepia-toned line drawing shows a coastal scene with cliffs and a shoreline. In the foreground several robed figures walk along a sandy or rocky surface, some in groups and some alone, one figure seen from behind with draped clothing. A mounted rider faces toward the shore while other standing and seated figures are scattered nearby. Buildings and high vertical walls frame the left side, with more structures and cliff faces receding into the distance on the right. The sea stretches across the middle ground with horizontal etched lines indicating waves, and small indistinct shapes on the water. Distant vertical elements and low architectural silhouettes appear on the horizon. The drawing is rendered with fine, sketchy linear strokes and areas of cross-hatching.
