Antique Miniature Painting on Wood of Hagia Sophia Istanbul Constantinople
This miniature painting of boats on the water with a silhouette of Hagia Sophia in the background is painted on a piece of wood approximately 3-5/8″ wide by 2-4/8″ tall. Weighs about 1/2 oz. Handwritten in pencil on the back: Istanbul Constantinople 1921. The wood appears to be 3 layer that are very solid together. Probably was a souvenir for tourists? No artist’s signature. A lovely little painting.
