Adding wikipedia page links to the longer notes description:
in this work, the artist possibly used the sketches he created during his stay in i̇stanbul. The area through which a creek runs, recalls excursion sites such as göksu, büyükdere or kâğıthane. The cluster of structures in the center, on the other hand, evokes the hisar fortress of i̇stanbul. Nonetheless, as a whole, the composition does not correspond to a particular area of the city. Still, with their garments and accessories, the ottoman figures are depicted in a realistic manner. Date: 1822. Dimensions: height: 56 cm (22 in); width: 83 cm (32.6 in). Medium: watercolor on paper. Collection: Pera Museum. Louis-François Cassas - Stroll in the Palace Garden
