This engraving depicting the Dolmabahçe Palace in Constantinople stands out for its meticulous architectural rendering and dense atmosphere. The artist adopts a slightly off-center frontal view that highlights the palace's monumentality while also incorporating the adjacent buildings and the monumental fence running along the Bosphorus. The etching technique carefully conveys the decorative details of the neo-baroque façades and the textured clouds that seem to press down upon the scene, adding a certain dramatic tension.

The image is composed with strong horizontal stability, punctuated by repeated vertical elements such as columns, gates, and palm trees. The absence of human figures enhances the sense of solemnity. The contrast between the massive architecture and the shifting water surface introduces a subtle dynamism. Numbered 9/30 and dated 1998, this print reflects a heritage-focused gaze on Constantinople.
