Ebru (attributed) 

This piece of Ebru art, attributed to Hatip Mehmed Efendi (c. 1680 – April 1773), showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Turkish paper marbling. Ebru is a technique that involves creating intricate patterns by floating pigments on a thickened solution, resulting in mesmerizing, abstract designs. The swirling and flowing lines in this piece, rendered in shades of yellow, blue, white, and black, evoke the delicate movement of water, while the red flower motifs add a touch of vibrancy and suggest a natural world. The overall effect is one of serene complexity and mesmerizing beauty.
