| Description |
English: Depicting nine men and a boy in prayer in a domestic interior in Cairo. Leading the prayer and invoking God is a turbaned imam – his fellow worshippers, of various cultural and ethnic backgrounds, unified in their piety. From left to right stand a Syrian in his chafiye turban; a red-bearded European in Eastern dress, and seven Arnauts, or Bashi-bazouks, including a blonde youth, wearing their characteristic white kilts. Irregulars in the Ottoman army, the Arnauts were recruited primarily in the Balkans and deployed across the Empire, including Egypt. |
