Constantinople

This view of Constantinople, which shows the Süleymaniye Mosque, was completed in November, 1934 after a drawing Bone had executed in 1929.

Bone, born in 1876 Glasgow, Scotland, had first trained as an architect before turning to art, specializing in watercolor and printmaking. Bone trained at the Glasgow School of Art before moving to London in 1901. There he continued to study alongside artists such as William Strang and Alphonse Legros, eventually joining the New English Art Club. Bone traveled and exhibited extensively, including in London and New York.
