My Favorite Artwork!

This painting is by Anton Hickel from 1780.The painting is called, Roxolena and the Sultan. Sultan was the ottoman empire and Roxolena, also known as Hurrem, was one of his wives. I like the painting because I like the little details and the story of Sultan and Hurrem has always been an attraction for me since they are known for their love and I found their story very interesting. I think this painting really describes it.
