"Maiden's Tower" is a landscape painting by Ottoman artist Hoca Ali Riza (1858-1939), depicting a serene scene of the iconic Maiden's Tower in Istanbul, Turkey, at sunset. The painting showcases the tower against a backdrop of a fiery orange sky, reflecting the warm hues of the setting sun. A small boat with figures glides across the calm water in the foreground, adding a touch of life to the tranquil scene. Riza's masterful use of light and color captures the beauty of Istanbul's skyline and the peaceful atmosphere of the moment.
