Turkish Women in the Countryside near Istanbul Turkish women near Constantinople view an appearance in the sky, A group of Turkish women sitting on the ground in a landscape near Constantinople view a phenomenon in the form of a human figure (constellation?) in the sky.

Maybe Vanmour has portrayed a Turkish folk tale or are it the hallucinations of the opium-smoking women ?, vision, Turkey, Constantinople
