Abstract :
In this study I hope to offer a new perspective on a group of paintings in the Istanbul album H2153, which are distinct in style and subject from all other material in the Albums and from Islamic painting in general. I use the collective term Siyah Qalam in reference to this body of work for convenience’s sake; I am well aware of the problems of attribution associated with that name!
