Saeys was a Flemish perspective painter who specialised in these architectural palace fantasies. From 1694 until 1725 he is documented in Vienna, capital of the Holy Roman Empire.

The Turkish figures in our painting testify of Western fascination for the exotic Ottoman culture.

A similar unsigned painting by Saeys was sold at de Maigret in Paris, 7/12/07, for 11.950 €.
