The engraving titled Constantinople presents a dense, layered architectural view of the historic city, blending Byzantine and Ottoman structures. The artist adopts a frontal, compressed perspective that emphasizes the verticality of iconic buildings such as the Galata Tower, minarets, and the domes of a grand mosque—likely Hagia Sophia. The etching technique reveals precise linework, with controlled use of hatching to convey the texture of stone, rooftops, and clouds.

The composition’s structured layout creates a clear visual hierarchy, leading the eye from the urban foreground to the sacred skyline. The absence of human figures reinforces the solemn monumentality of the site. The monochrome sepia tone lends the scene the quality of a memory or historical document. Numbered 12/25 and dated 1998, this print stands in the tradition of scholarly city representations—halfway between heritage tribute and personal vision of a mythic space.
