With a focus on artistic production under Islamic patronage, the sale of Arts of the Islamic World, which will take place on Oct. 19 at Sotheby’s London, covers more than a thousand years of artwork spanning multiple continents.
A portrait by the school of Veronese, depicting the Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I and dated 1580, will be auctioned for 150,000 pounds.
The portrait of the sultan, the fourth ruler of the Ottoman Empire, depicted in three-quarter view looking over his shoulder and wearing a large turban and richly embroidered cloak, was directly influenced by a painting of Bayezid by Paolo Caliari, called Paolo Veronese.
