This drawing is built in two halves that do not touch. Istanbul puts a bridge across the left and the great mosque on the right, and leaves the middle low on purpose.

What is in the drawing

A minaret and a small dome open on the left. The suspension bridge follows, its deck drawn as one long horizontal with the cables slung in a shallow curve above it. Low blocks and a slim spire run through the middle, flat and quiet. The Galata Tower stands past them under a conical cap. Then the mosque fills the right, a central dome with half domes falling away on either side and six minarets standing clear of it.

Who buys it

Cruise stops and long layovers put a lot of people in this city briefly, and the skyline is what they saw from the water. That view is exactly what the drawing takes.

Mug or canvas

At 2.333 it runs wider than the band and the mug scales it by width, which suits a composition with a deliberate gap in the middle. Coverage 0.140 is moderate. The six minarets are the fine detail, close enough together that an 11oz blurs the outer pair. They separate at 15oz and at 24 by 16.
