"La Charité chez les derviches à Scutari" is a painting by Rudolf Ernst, a German Orientalist painter known for his depictions of Middle Eastern life. The scene portrays a group of dervishes, or Sufi Muslim ascetics, gathered in a room, likely a mosque or charitable institution in Scutari, now Üsküdar, Turkey. The painting, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century, captures a moment of charity and community, highlighting the role of religion and social welfare in Ottoman society. It is a testament to Ernst’s interest in portraying the everyday lives and traditions of people in the Middle East.
