The unknown artist skillfully captures the essence of daily life in Constantinople during that era. The image showcases two women elegantly draped in traditional veils, which were emblematic of their Turkish Muslim identity.

As we delve deeper into this artwork, it becomes evident that religion plays an integral role in shaping the lives depicted here.
